Saw a picture on the net somewhere, and now can't find it, A monster with a Black case and an Orange strap, has anyone else seen it and does anyone know where I can buy one.

Thanks

Seiya stock a few variants of the Monster range!

Never ordered from them, though. They seem to be mentioned alot on other forums, so should be genuine?

ETA - Not sure about the orange strap? possibly an aftermarket item?

Neither Seiya nor Higuchi sell the monster. The watch you are referring to is the black monster with an aftermarket strap. These can be found here for instance:-

Are you meaning the standard black monster or the all black watch? Those are harder to find now.

I love it. Only thing is how resistant to scratches is that?

Thanks, thats the one, as someone else said the strap must be aftermarket one. It seems quite a big premium for black but does look worth it.
