ArunD that is a lovely looking watch. (Darn you to heck!)

Any idea what the model number is, anybody?

Ooohhhhh this forum....

[sneijder]

Ahhh crap, a challenger approaches from the deep :



SZEN007 Purple Night Monster (!)

Are you sure they aren't a bit too glossy these Night Monsters ?

hehe, it's only fair that I dish it out after so many people get me salivating over watches I don't really need and more often that not can't afford!!

Just did a quick search and come up with this number; SNZF19K1

From this page of Seiko 5 variants (guessing this will keep you busy!)

They are glossy, but not overly so. They pick up fingerprints easily though - if you buy the one you posted, then you'll more than likely be polishing your purple monster on a daily basis!

[sneijder]

Arf arf ! OM it is methinks.

[Arun_D]

You know there really should be a thread dedicated to those who have bought Seiko Monsters as a direct result of this forum. I know I'm one of them.

[Frederick]

me too...

Edit. Look out for rkwatchhouse on Ebay which I where I got my Monster. Damned good seller and highly recommended here. Careful about the spelling though - two "h" which fools some.

Bought an Orange Monster from this seller about 2 months ago. After a month the day/date counter stopped working. Sent a simple e-mail asking the best course of action and he ignored it. Not very good in my book

Batteries? Monsters don't need no stinkin' batteries!

They's them old-fangled auto-mo-tatic wristwatches.

Whoosh!

I've re-read that, and it is indeed a Woosh of the highest order.

As an aside, I don't think I've seen this mentioned yet, the SRP029J. It's waaay to big for me and unless I'm mistaken I don't think you'd be able to put a Toshi on it ?? Looks fantastic though :

This looks very cool. Does anyone have a source. From Googling it appears to be a Singapore / Taiwan model only. Anyone know of a decent dealer over there that would ship?

He doesn't seem to have it on the website, but I'll bet this lot could. Loads of happy customers on TZ-UK have bought stuff from him, might be worth an email?

Thanks, will give him a try

No he doesn't but this is cheap, even allowing for postage and possible customs duty:-

Return direct to Seiko uk. I guess i'll find out if the warranty card that came with the watch is worth anything (reading the message on Seiko's web site i expect not).

[C8PPO]

OK, I want to join the PH Monster Club!

Have pretty much decided I want an orange one. Not sure about the strap but I'm thinking non-bracelet.

Have I missed the boat on the orange ones? Not many on eBay, certainly not in the UK anyway and I'm reluctant to order from abroad, although the £103 offer on this thread was v tempting - but once you add duty, VAT, and any hassle if it fails, is it worth it?

RKWatchhouse doesn't seem to have any atm. Any other sources at good prices?

Thks

[lowdrag]

Drop rkwatchhouse a line and ask when they expect to have one. They did this for me and I bought smoothly.
