That is fast and a classic too. I bought mine a while back for more than that!

Oh, t'was a private sale on eBay, but brand new, with tags an' that. Creation Watches have it for £126 delivered, not sure how import duties work with them.

Re: Christmas present to self
I have used Creation Watches and they set the value at $26 on the goods but the day it arrived $26 was just over £18 which is the limit for the VAT man to start charging and in these austere times they are. The charged me over £3 which Fedex paid on my behalf and then charged me £10 for the privilege of paying it.

Great watch and wear it in good health. Nothing beats a Monster as far as "bang for bucks" is concerned. Now you have a Black one you will no doubt end up with the desire to get another. That way your black one will not get lonely.

No, I've my orange C6 to give me the dose of vitamin C and I don't think I could run to one of those limited edition Monsters (love the green).

Don't worry, it's easy. Was the first bracelet I've ever re-sized and was very straightforward - have a look at this:springer wrote: Still plucking up the courage to attempt a bracelet resize

But then you'd have the black edged hands on a black dial.sean1e wrote:ref Orange Monster, Im trying to convince myself I like it but I just cant get on with the black edged hands against the background and white markers... does anyone know if its easily modded as Im tempted to get Black Monster and Orange Monster and swap the hands over...
The OM is just one of those things that works for me...

Pyoingggggg!!!! Managed to lose one collar en route, but I'm there. They're tricky little buggers - once lost, never found ought to be the motto. That last bit is the toughest - putting pressure on from both sides; just didn't have a tool that worked without slipping inside the collar. Had to cut the nib from a fibre tip pen and use the stump of that - job's a good 'un.
