Torn between this:

Or this:

Or this:

Being a Seiko fanboy I'm sorely tempted by the Monster, then again the Orient on the SS Strap and orange face has an odd attraction. The Second Seiko is a tempting alternative to the Orient.

I'm seriously erring towards the Monster though...I mean I don't have one yet, but I'm concerned it will look a bit silly on my girly wrists.

Is "None of the above" an option? I'm genuinely struggling to like any of those.

Surely the classic monster is better?

It's a solid "save your money" from me, I'm afraid.

Ha Ha, everyone's taste is different it seems.

I think the Monster is going to be my "orange" fix. Always had a thing for them and as yet have not managed to get hold of one.

Are Orient watches any good? I don't really know anything about the brand.

Cheers.

Whilst not a "Seiko fanboy" I do like the proper monsters and have an orange one.

That one in the bottom link looks fking vile though! Too much? smile

I've been told that Orient are very good. As I understand it the company is a Seiko subsidiary, and I doubt that Seiko would let them make a bad watch!

I like the orange SKX007/9 style whose exact number escapes me, so I will say sort-of yes to the middle one.

It will look a lot better on an Oyster bracelet though. It doesn't suit the Z22 at all.

The middle one - black monster like thingy - but why not just get a monster? By the way I found the Monster steel bracelet very uncomfortable - now on a black Nato and it's a cracking mechanical watch.

Get a Monster, whichever model of your choice. They're not as large as the name suggests, in fact according to creation the Monster is the smallest of the three in terms of case diameter that you've quoted. I'd stick with the previous generation black dialed Monster myself and have owned one in the past, on a bracelet they're certainly monster vfm.
