I have a Theorema hand winding skeleton watch, I'm pretty sure Theorema are part of the same group as Trias. The Theorema was surprisingly good considering the lowly price, and has performed well over the past 18 months. I'll try to get some pics up soon.

Thanks for all the suggestions folks, I think the Monster is still in the lead..........

CAUTION. If you are a cat-lover; if you accidentally 'dink' a cat on the head with a Monster, it stays 'dinked'...
('Dink', noise made by Seiko Monster on contact with cat's head at high velocity, usually caused by involuntary gesture at cat when spuddling claw into owner's leg)...UB.. :)

I'm still on the look out, needs to be a good deal as I've bought the black monster and another Seiko in the past couple of weeks.

Did you get a good deal?

There's an orange monster for sale on "the other forum" for £95 atm. He did put it down to £85, but he put it back up for some reason.

A Monster will never be the ruin of you. You will love it especially if you have gone for the steel bracelet. What will be the ruin of you is that once you get the Orange one then you will be wanting to get a Black Monster too.

:D :wink:

I went with steel, T2.
Trouble with what you say is that once I go black, I will never go back - you'll have me buying more Seikos.

Whilst CW prices are tumbling, Monster prices are rising if the Bodying site is anything to go by. I wouldn't wait too long if you are thinking of getting one

I would love a yellow one, but I hear they are very rare. Anyway, here's a quick pic of Mr. Orange.

You guys should check out http://www.monsterwatches.nl/.

Its a dutch website but I think you'll love to watch the custom made seiko's over there.
I was also tempted to buy an orange monster, but it seems to be a bit of an overkill sitting next to my C60.
