I'd never quite gotten around to buying a monster but knew I'd get one at some point,then I saw the blue LE ones and it pushed me over the edge. The only seller on the bay [that had them when I was looking ] wouldn't ship to the UK ,so Norm [ Normdiaz ] very kindly offered to help, I sent him the cash and he bought it and then shipped it over to me [ It was a cool thing to do Norm and I really appreciate it mate  ] My crappy photographic skills really don't do this watch justice, when the light hits the dial/hands and bezel it looks stunning .The fit and finish is just as I expected [very good ] bezel and crown action is silky smooth, I had thought that I'd have to swap the hands and crown as inspite of my gypsy blood I don't do gold but they're really growing on me [ might get a sovereign ring next laugh1.gif] Here's a few pics    I'm really a bracelet guy at heart so put it on a mesh,looks pretty good IMO    |

Looks great Jim, especially on the mesh. A proper Pikey's watch. Kudos to Norm too, a great gesture. cheering-clapping-smiley-emoticon |

You're welcome, Jim. If we can't help out our fellow forum members whenever possible, why are we here? BTW, that looks better on the mesh bracelet IMHO.
(You must have taken the pics of the watch when just out of the box before you even corrected the date.) |

If you have an iphone, just hit the watch with an LED torch and then go into the loo with the lights off. iphones take good pics. I don't have one but my kids do. Here is an example.   |

Looks like the Monster color selection is growing. I've heard of/seen black, red, orange, green, and now blue, like Jim's.

Let's not overdo it guys. Nothing too difficult about ordering a watch with someone else's funds, repacking it, and reshipping at buyer expense to the ultimate buyer. (Got to see/handle one of these up close without leaving home too and Jim was a pleasure to work/communicate with. Jim was a bit overgenerous in his reimbursement and I thank him for that.) I'm sure anyone else would have done the same, I just happened to offer help first.

SWEET!! Nice one Norm, your a good bloke as we say this side of the pond! Jimmy I wasn't to into the new Monsters. I brought two for a good price with the intention of selling them both. However, sold one then Chris talked me into keeping the other. Now I love it! I wear it on Sunday's. Enjoy it mate!! Mine says Hi!
