The one I got is not listed there anymore, it had a black rubber strap instead of the steal strap.
I have owned 2 Seikos, 1 automatic, 1 quartz with moon phase complications. I have also gifted 4 Automatic Seikos to friends and family and they are decent watches for their prices. They have a higher time +- second rating then the more expensive automatics. The movement of the watches also isn't as smooth as a Rolex or an Omega. |
The watch you have linked to is a relatively new offering from Seiko. Some are referring to it as a 3rd generation Monster. The case and bracelet are the same as the 1st and 2nd gen Monsters. There have been some cosmetic changes to the dial. The 3rd gen has gone to more rectangular indices as compared to the triangular "sharktooth" indices on the 2nd gen. It also has a rather clumsy date magnifier on the crystal. The big change is the midrange 6R15 movement which accounts for the bump in price. This watch would slot somewhere between the 2nd gen Monster and the Sumo.
