I don't mind at all. When I saw the chance to have Randall build a watch, I jumped on it.

Agree 100%, Mikey. I LOVE mine. What really cinched it for me to get one was an evening at the movie theatre. Some guy up front went out for popcorn, was wearing a Black Monster, and was literally using it to LIGHT THE WAY UP THE AISLE!

Now THAT'S a lume!!!!

On fleabay I did a search too and that JFM Enterprise dude seems to be fitting the same sort of bracelet. Has this seller jumped on the popularity band wagon of the Randall build???

The watch looks like great bang for buck - especially for those wanting the Rolex Sub look but quite cant get there $ wise.

Not familiar with JFM Enterprise.

The Seiko 6309's and 6105's were the watches I saw all the guys wearing when I got certified as an open water diver in Hawaii in 1980.

I was just a 11 then. All I knew about Rolex at that time was the GMT. Magnum PI wore one and all the pilots I saw wore them. I had no idea there were other Rolexs out there until much later.

Just look how sharp the fonts and how the date wheel perfectly lines up on my Seiko diver, thats quality but not at stupendous crazy prices.

Second only to the Orange PO in it's ugliness. But then everything pales in comparison the Orange POs.

That yellow is almost as nice as the orange we see floating around here all too often.

True, except it is running with one more jewel than the Orange, with a sapphire and a cyclop. And it is also a LE.

You're welcomed Alan! I had the BM too! Just no time to think of which BLACK fruit to use! I was thinking of black currant or some black prunes! But in the end, sold both the OM and BM, and decided to keep the YM only.

Anyway those Monsters are beaters and biggest bang for the bucks IMO. sure it does not hurt you when you bang it compared to your Rolexes right?!
