Now I know most of the folks on this forum so far seem to not look on the monsters too kindly, but they are what triggered my addiction for watch collecting, so when I heard about these new LE's on the way I couldn't wait. It's been almost a year since I purchased a new watch for myself, but I couldn't pass up a chance to grab one.  The box and packaging is not as flashy and grand as the other Monster LE's (Green and Snow Monster), but I couldn't care less about the box.  And there she is. The pictures don't do it justice. The lighting is not the greatest. Soon as I have a chance I'll take some better pics and post them in the member's gallery with my other Monster's.    In my opinion this is one of the best LE Monster's yet. Very reasonable price considering it's an LE. My only gripe would be the standard rubber strap that comes with it, but that's not a big deal. I ordered an extra Stainless steel monster bracelet from coserve months ago, so I'll swap that right out. Thanks for looking chinathumbsup.gif |

That's a gorgeous dial!
These new Monsters are growing on me whereas the originals just never did anything for me. I think it is the index shape that makes them more interesting for me chinathumbsup.gif

I've always loved the Classic monsters, but I'm really starting to think I prefer the new SRP models. |

Is the bezel blue?

Yes. The bezel is very blue. The lighting in my place was off, so it looks more black. I'll take better pics later. |

I'm generally more of a fan of the original monsters, but this one is absolutely gorgeous too. Love the blue dial, and actually quite like the fit with the blue S-Wave strap too.
Great purchase, congratulations, mate!

Aha, now you can really see the beautiful bezel in all it's bling blueness... Bis, bis!

Looks great on the Monster bracelet as well (though I secretly find that dark blue S-Wave strap very sexy!)
Great stuff!

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Here's a few more pics I took at work:    These pictures are going to sell a shit load of watches all by themselves. Hope there are enough to go around after this laugh1.gif |

I almost bought the basic Seiko 5 "Limited Edition" but it was sold out at Seiya and Higuchi.
I searched "Seiko limited" on EBAY and found hundreds of auctions.
It seems that Seiko has gone the route of the boutique Swiss home shopping network brand routes and is trying to capitalize on the "limited" marketing plan.
