Eek, it's Japanese!

Hi all

I think that I'm qualified, in that I have a single rolex (16622 YM).
But I just succumbed to a Seiko Orange Monster at the princely sum of £170 (maybe $250). It looks cool (I think) and is a bit of a Rolex antidote.

What do y'all think?

Yeesh... as I write this I realise that I am opening myself up for a torrent of abuse.

So... I don't mean "d'ya think Seiko is better than Rolex". Nah, hands-down my YM is a fantastic bit of engineering. I mean that, for quirkiness, what do you think of the Orange thang?

No abuse from me. Seiko is tops in my book. You picked a great watch enjoy it. This 6309 is my daily wear, it's from 1981

Monster is truly wonderful watch, possibly best value for money.
I don`t have it, but have many other Seiko`s, and lately I`m wearing my SKX009, perfect watch for everyday use!
