trailboss99 994 Posted July 29, 2013 Orange or black? Can't compare, two entirely different watches IMHO. Bloody nice pics Del! My most faithful beater: Thanks to Mazz I have a Night Monster as well, I must take some pics of it as I absolutely love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cogwatch 1 Posted July 29, 2013 Ha, having told the story about the 1st/2nd Generations, I've been looking at the old version of the Black Monster as well. greg_r, what do you pay? I just found it for $175 + tax, free shipping. Still looking..... I also just found the below photo. I'm partial to bracelets myself, but this looks kind of interesting. I never would have thought of it on leather. Of course I wouldn't be diving with the leather, but then again none of my divers ever dive anyway ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted August 1, 2013 Mine says 'Hi' So much better looking in the flesh than in photos. I may have to buy the orange version too.... Damn you, Del! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorpion 0 Posted August 1, 2013 Mine says 'Hi' So much better looking in the flesh than in photos. I may have to buy the orange version too.... Damn you, Del! Greg or Del can you please do me a favour and put a rule or calliper across the bezel and let me know exactly what size it is. Its generally said to be 42 or 43mm and I really like the looks but i am concerned its going to look small compared to most of my others. Last time i bought a so called 43mm watch they had included the crown and it wore way to small. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted August 1, 2013 I'll try to remember to do that for you tomorrow, scorp (not wearing it at the moment as I need to sort out the bracelet). FWIW it's fairly chunky. My comfort zone is 44-47mm and it feels about right to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorpion 0 Posted August 1, 2013 Cheers Greg - Creation list it as "case" size 42mm? to me the actual size across the bezel is the important bit. I know on the Monsters the dial is smaller due to the larger bezel but I cant find any info on actual bezel size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,463 Posted August 1, 2013 Very nice greg! But now you want the orange one, right?! Scorp - didn't you see my photo of the Monster and Seawolf? That's 43mm versus 45mm. It depends on what you are looking for but I don't think the Monster feels small. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted August 2, 2013 Yup - 43mm. Scorp, you have a PM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pennapolis 0 Posted August 15, 2013 Here are mine from last month's trip to San Diego. Actually got to use it in the ocean.......didn't quite get to 200m though......more like 6 feet! .................AND my Island Girl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pennapolis 0 Posted August 15, 2013 My Black Monster stopped to say hello too.........! I love these watches. Bought both from Amazon for less than $200 each, and that was with bracelets. Got some cheapish NATO straps to change things up a bit. I think I may opt for some better quality leather and nylon NATO straps soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
