It's a...........MONSTER!

After seeing all the Monster posts lately I couldn't resist any longer. I found a smokin deal from a power seller on the bay, picked up a NATO strap, and here we are. Can't beat this piece for the price...

You could land planes on a flight deck with that thing.

That has an awesome lume.

I'm thinking of modifying my Monster with some parts from Bill Yao's MKII web page.



What do you guy's think of this dial (not my pictures)



With the these hands and second sweep (with red tip) or do you prefer the above saber hands?



Please let me know what you think of these combination's. I'm pretty set on the dial, just trying to figure out which hands to choose.

I'm with Chip here I like this one better, but on a rubber strap and with the red tipped second hand like in the second pic. I can't see a reason to cover up the Day/Date display like the second dial does.

I think it would look smookin

If you know a compent watchmaker, order the parts yourself and have them put them on for you.

Keep us posted Joe
