DMC1974 1 Posted July 2, 2014 Hi Guys, not been able to get on here for a while due to work commitments. At the beginning of the year I was all set to pull the trigger on a 1st generation Orange Monster with bracelet on Creation. I never got round to it, and then they were out of stock. I see the ones on rubber are now back in stock. I don't mind the rubber too much, but would like the original bracelet too. How easy/hard are they to source? I've searched every thread on this I believe, and any advice on this seems to be from at least a few months ago. Any help or advice much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pharmo 33 Posted July 2, 2014 To be honest mate, rather then the original Seiko bracelet I would go for some thing like this... Super engineer bracelet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pharmo 33 Posted July 2, 2014 or Yobokies hammer bracelet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMC1974 1 Posted July 2, 2014 Cheers mate. I reckon I'll pull the Creation trigger now with the rubber on it (before it sells out again) then explore options when I have it. I've never seen the original bracelet in the flesh, but I must admit I like the look of it from pics I've seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good idea mate...Original bracelet is nice and solid, but I would take the above two over the original anyday. The cost difference also isn't going to be too much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Electron17 0 Posted July 2, 2014 I have 2 of these watches, one on rubber and the other on an original bracelet. I find the one on rubber is the most versatile. Go for the one on the rubber strap, you will not be disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 83 Posted July 2, 2014 The Seiko bracelet looks nice, but is a bit rattly and is an absolute bastard to adjust. I bought my black monster on the bracelet, but if I was going to do it again, I'd definitely buy on rubber and go for an aftermarket one instead (probably the yobokies version). I also have an LE blue monster on a third-party bracelet, which took a little fiddling to make it fit right but looks rather good and was pretty inexpensive: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMC1974 1 Posted July 2, 2014 Cheers guys, much appreciated...the 1st Gen OM on rubber has been ordered! It's good to be back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jingo.smile 0 Posted July 3, 2014 Or the Anvil from Yobokies. Much, much better than the original bracelet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DMC1974 1 Posted July 4, 2014 I'm liking the look of the Anvil! OM is en route, so I'll look around, but the Anvil is nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMC1974 1 Posted July 7, 2014 Ordered last Wednesday, and it's just arrived!!! That's super service from Creation ???? The strap is quite long on my tiny wrists, so will definitely be purchasing a new bracelet I think lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarmaToBurn 1,419 Posted July 7, 2014 I cut my rubber straps to fit my wrist. My monster is on a watchadoo bracelet that is fantastic... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMC1974 1 Posted July 9, 2014 Decided to go down a completely different route with the strap in the end. Ordered late yesterday afternoon, and it arrived today! More super service, this time from ukwatchstrap.co.uk. Di Modell Chronissimo, just £40.90 with recorded delivery http://www.ukwatchst...k-Short-R3.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheTinMan 13 Posted July 9, 2014 Different watch, but same idea. I picked up a bracelet for $8 off the bay. I remember the vendor having one similair to the monster bracelet for something like $12. They're cheap bracelets, but they look the part and do the job. It could get you through for a while too, until you buy a super engineer (or similair) - which I think looks fantastic on a monster.

DMC1974 1 Posted July 9, 2014 I'm loving the Chronissimo at the minute mate, so I'm shelving plans for a bracelet for now. I've seen some pics of a guys Black Monster with the same strap...that's what made me choose this to be honest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
