This thread seems to perpetuate the same theme we see in audiophilia. Enthusiasts excitedly talk about the intricacies and emotional delights of owning a beautiful, artpiece created by renowned artisans. Someone comes along and talks about how they don't see the use of having a watch, what with televisions, cell phones, pagers, the sun rising and setting, cocks crowing and all. Yet these very people inhabit this forum, purchase cables more expensive than these watches and argue the same point to people who tell them that with car radios, Ipods, computer speakers, bose speakers, cell phones, not to mention watch radios, what's the use of owning a world class audio system?

This thread led me to the Seiko Orange Monster - quite a nice watch for the price, feels like a much more expensive watch, might get a black monster too.

Pabul57,

Does that model have rough, irritating parts that rub your skin? I ask because while my Seamaster was being serviced I bought a Seiko and then had to return it. It was tearing up my wrist.

Here's a link to it: Seiko

Size and band seem similar to Black Monster.

The band does look the same, I would think you would have the same problem with the Monsters....though my wrist seems unscathed and adjustment knob (not the technical name:) on the Monster is offset to the 4:00 position which seems to help.
