My Monster may have died...
...but it doesn't mean I've gone off Seikos! So much so, my brand new one arrived today! I've gone for the Monster's little brother, the so-called Mini Monster, or officially, the Seiko 5 Diver's watch, ref. SNZF49J1. Gone for an orange one, this time, and it looks great, really fun. Fit and finish is impressive, although the bracelet, which looks deceptively similar to the full-fat Monster's, seems to be a little lighter, and lacks a diver's extension link. However, this also has a display case back, which is a nice touch, and features the 7S36 movement inside
I also picked up a 16 piece watchmakers toolkit (cost me £3.50 plus P&P, bargain!), which meant the bracelet was a doddle to resize. Overall, I'm smiling like the Cheshire Cat at the moment! Here's a (frankly awful) picture from my Blackberry, I can't find the cable for my good camera at the moment

Congratulations Chris!!
I very nearly bought one of those myself (simply because of the display back) but opted for the 'old faithful' instead. Hope you'll be very happy together mate......

I almost bought it two years ago, when I go for another example of Seiko`s 5 sports range...
It looks great, display case back is really cool feature and it`s movement (7s36) is newer (I`m not saying better, they`re basically the same) than the one in real Monster (legendary 7s26).  Congrats!
