What automatic watch for
Discussion
The SKX007 / 009 (and other derivatives, they have yellow and orange faces too), are better and more attractive watches in my opinion. The olny Monsters thatd turn my eye are the PVD coated black or purple faced 'Night Monsters'. The stainless models are far 'to metal' for my liking, with too small a face.
If you get the above pictured 007 (or a Persi-dialled blue-faced 009) with a Super Oyster bracelet, rather than the lumpy Jubilee pictured, then itll be nicer still.

The SKX007 is becoming the MX5 of the watch section. It is a good timepiece, though.
If you want something a bit left-field, check out http://www.wernersflyingwatches.com/ or go on Ebay and look up "Parnis".

If, for some reason, you don't want a Seiko Diver, you could get yourself a nice Swiss automatic..

How so - don't they use the same movement as the Monster?tomirk said:
Thanks for the replies, I am really torn between the Monster and SKX007J(on a Super Oyster Bracelet), what if I up the budget to £250? Anything worthwhile spending the extra cash on?
thanks
Staying with automatic Seiko divers but upgrading the price and quality a level, there is the Seiko Samurai and the Seiko Sumo.thanks
