Sort them out Bill!!! I'm after an orange monster too, I'll keep the black on the SS band but the orange is a must on rubber.

Keep us posted

everose · 31 January 2010, 01:27 PM

One thing i have noticed about Monsters which confuses me,relates to the day display!!!!???????

The info i read on Monsters said the "SAT" was in BLUE and "SUN" was in RED.

My SAT is WHITE (like mon-fri) (same as Louies pics above.)

Bills OM shows the SAT in BLUE!!!!!!!!

Can any Monster experts explain please????

...

I think i'm getting OCD!!

I think it depends on the second language IE mine is french, and I think the country purchased not too sure

PS, If your OCD and you know it wash you hands :-)

Enjoy the options.

ナイス！！

　This watch is very versatile. I really like the look of it on the rubber, more sporty I think.

I'm thinking of getting a silicone rubber strap for it. It might be a little softer than the OEM rubber one

When I first changed to the OEM rubber, I wasn't sure about it because the strap looks so much smaller than the bracelet, but it is really growing on me.
What kind of silicone rubber strap are you thinking of?

Congrats on the Orange Monster. Sorry to hear about the scratch. I hope you can get it sorted out. I must say that the Orange Monster looks amazing.

I thought the same thing at first too, but now I think that relates only to the Monsters that have the white date wheel. The black monster comes with a black date wheel. If you check out Bill's Orange Monster pic above you'll see it has a blue Saturday.

Something like this one. For the price, you can't go wrong IMO

everose · 31 January 2010, 10:20 PM

Hey Ryan..... when does your OM arrive?????.....

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know about my love for my BM........

Well, i was planning on getting an OM also....,but checking other threads i am now wondering if i should get an Invicta or Casio G-Shock.

My head tells me i should explore other brands......but deep down i feel that if i got something else.... i would still end up getting an OM anyway!!!!

I am usually decisive....but not this time......so i will do nothing for now.

Well originally I was thinking of ordering it this week, but like you I'm also considering other brands. I'm really interested in getting a Marathon SAR or the new G-Shock Frogman

I know that I'll eventually pick up an OM it's just a matter of when.

How about one of these Ryan???

The G-Shock GW7900B

Speed · 1 February 2010, 03:45 PM

BTW,

Those Yellow Monsters were limited edition... I have seen folks asking $1700 for them!

buz-lh · 1 February 2010, 09:39 PM

Continuing with Monsters. I have the bracelet and the rubber strap but keep it on this green NATO which matches the markers pretty well. As for lume, guess which is the MONSTER.

everose · 1 February 2010, 10:35 PM

Great pic Buz.....the Monster lume kicks ass at ANY price point!!!!

Nice G-Shock Bill

This is the Frogman I'm thinking about, GWF-1000B-1JR. It's a monster in its own right too 58.3×52.8×18mm!!

Looking good Buz

Looks like I'll have to have a look at NATOs too. I love the combo

That group lume shot is amazing

chester1 · 2 February 2010, 11:11 AM

Don't forget to post some pix

Did you order it on the strap or bracelet?

chester1 · 3 February 2010, 02:44 AM

Went with the bracelet. Looking at picking up a rubber strap later. Now I am waiting for 2 watches, the monster and for Rolex to finish up with the old GMT. Thanks Doug

Good move Chester. I did as well. Will keep the watch on NATO, but better to get the bracelet anyway. Works out better $-wise.

My replacement Monster should arrive soon.
