My First Monster
I was hoping you guys would talk me down from buying a Seiko Frickn Monster. Hoping you guys would tell me horror stories about ownership of this particular watch. Hoping you guys would make fun of me to even consider buying this watch only worn by hardcore Seiko fanboys. So, here it is in all it's glory ... The Seiko Vampire Monster (SRP313K) and it's frickn awesome! Thanks guys for making it such an easy purchase and thanks to my wife for negotiating the price even lower than originally posted.
2nd Generation. 4R36 movement. Hand winds and hacks.
42.5mm of solid steel manliness.
13mm thick and I thought that I'd hate the shroud, but it doesn't bother me at all.
Solid steel bracelet with those pesky pins and collars which I did not try to size myself after much consoling from RacerX. I couldn't do it.
Diver extension which will only be useful if I get fat because I have no intention of ever going diving. Ever.
And it looks and feels great on the wrist! Oh yeah and I almost forgot...gratuitous lume shot!!
I appreciate all the input I got in this purchase and after a day on my wrist, I'm not sure why it was a such difficult decision. Oh crap, I just realized that I might just be a Seiko fanboy. Cheers!
