I have bought another Seiko since I last contributed to this thread... yesterday this arrived:



I'd never been a massive fan of the Monster but the stars aligned with a discount at Creation Watches and an effusive review I watched on Youtube after half a bottle of wine. Despite not being a Monster fan, I had previously pondered which face I liked best and never made up my mind; the Dracula look was an easy choice when I actually ordered though.

To be honest, while I like the Monster it's quite youthful so I doubt I'll wear it to work much after today. It's solid, weighty and comfortable, it's distinctive and it almost, but doesn't quite, deserve the praise invariably heaped upon it. I prefer the SNZH53 which is cheaper and better finished (though lacks a screw-down crown, solid end-links and hacking/hand-winding).

Very nice Monster, I've a soft spot for the Draculas. I've often contemplated buying one, bloody creation and their sales but it wouldn't get worn because it might look a bit too much on my girly wrists.

I don't know either your wrist size or the size of the watch/es you normally wear however the Monster isn't as big as the name suggests, and the very short lugs help disguise its diameter as well.

[Jobbo]

Definitely not as big as it looks (and sounds, from the name) - here's a mostly Seiko pic for comparison purposes. Sorry about the reflections; it's only intended to show the sizes.

My old kinetic, bought around 1996 and never left my wrist for the next 18 years! Never missed a beat.


Now replaced with this Japanese 'urchin' auto. Slightly disappointed after the kinetic, loses a bit of time and has a bit of battle damage already, but then again it is my daily.

Anyone interested in swapping this for for another Seiko?

I never wear it anymore and thought it would be fun to see what comes up in a swap

(not my pic but for anyone interested, will take pics)

Interesting, that's the very model which was also a contender when I bought mine, above.

Iol I really don't like my Rolex DSSD on it's bracelet but found it works great on my Seiko the fit is perfect

Seiko SPC001, had it for over 8 years now, used to be a daily whilst at school, now just when I want a metal bracelet watch that doesn't mind being knocked about.

Been through the wars this has, but still goes strong
