I am a big fan of the Seiko Monsters and have an Orange and a black one.

I haven't bought a watch in a while and feel like buying something in a similar price range to keep me going.

Any suggestions from my forum budies?

WatchTimes · 10 February 2011, 08:31 AM

Marathon!!!
GShock

Either are GREAT

Dan Pierce · 10 February 2011, 10:23 AM

Hey Dan,

A Marathon would be a great addition, although a bit more expensive, or maybe a modded Monster?
dP

x2 on Marathon. They are a bit more expensive than the Monster, but a lot of watch for the money. I blame Dan for turning me on to these, but they are REALLY nice!!

Why don`t stay with Seiko Diver`s?
Here`s one great example that I almost bought two years ago!

Dan I have loved seeing pictures of your marathon and have lusted for a while.

However I can't seem to find a supplier in the UK and would like to see one in the flesh. If it looks as good as it does in the picture I know I will want one.

Vukota I love that Seiko. Very nice.

Thanks for all of your help gents!

You will not find a storefront that carries them.

Its one of the watches you just need to take a chance and order.
I do not know of many (heck I dont know of any) people who have
been upset with their purchase.

You can find them second hand on lots of the various forums and its
really worth just taking the chance and ordering one. If you do not like
it you will have no problem turning it as they do not last long on the market.

dandan · 11 February 2011, 09:27 AM

Thanks Jeremy

I do really like them. If anyone knows of any going or anygood places on the web to buy one please let me know.

spuds · 11 February 2011, 10:07 AM

Dan

Your a bad man! If I remeber rightly it was your fault I got a monster and then another one.

Seriously though thanks for your help. I will keep you all posted.

Heads off to check bank balance online...........

asadtiger · 12 February 2011, 04:48 AM

do check out the Seiko SPORK (model no: SRP043 _K2 is with rubber while K1 on bracelet_)...it is a very good fresh take on the Monster..has an upgraded movt (4R15) too

regards, Asad

dandan · 17 February 2011, 12:03 AM

I have decided that the Marathon is out of pric range for now so went for this instead.

What do you think?

Will post pics when I get it.

Thanks for all of your help

gettocard · 17 February 2011, 07:56 AM

Get a nice Seiko 007 if you want automatic,but IMHO nothing beats a good Gshock shopping spree to feed a watch craving !!!

Frogman4me · 22 February 2011, 03:24 PM

I just purchased from Harold aka Yobokies an anvil bracelet for my monster and a super oyster II (evo S) for my skx007 and I love them both. Also just picked up an snm033 sammy. Princeton watches has sammys for an unbelievable price and next day shipping is included.

Sub'erman · 26 February 2011, 12:12 PM

So did I!
Had to try a modded one:
Dial from Yokobies, Original Seiko sapphire Glass from a Red Monster.

ibrando · 26 February 2011, 10:21 PM

I second the 007. I just received mine last week and love it!

Cheers,
B.
