Monster Saturday - Not One, Not Two But Four!

It was one of those days I just wanted to do something different - so I wore two Seiko Monsters out and when I came home, took out another two.

Fantastic Four for me... And maybe more to come?

From left to right - a normal black and orange Monster, the LE Anniversary Monster, the LE Moon Monster and lastly the LE Snow Monster.

Notice the Thailand Limited Editions - Snow Monster and Moon Monster have cyclop magnifiers for the day and date while the other two do not.

Visit my other blogs for more on the Snow Monster, the Anniversary Monster and the Moon Monster.

Seiko Moon Monster on Strap

So I had the bracelet changed to a strap. I went to Jason at JnS and he suggested the black alligator over the yellow with yellow stitches.

The results are exactly what I wanted - a customized strap to go with the black yellow combo.

Looks a little softer than bracelet. Here's another look with the JnS Strap.

You can read the original post on the Moon Monster. But I like this one more!

Monster Find! The Moon Monster Limited Edition

I thinkI have said this several times - if it is meant to be, then it is meant to be. In this case, I owe thanks to Massi who alerted me to the new Limited Edition of the Seiko Monster - the Sun & the Moon.

Thailand is probably the land with the most Limited Edition Monsters and this time around, two were released - the Sun and Moon. In almost every major department store in Bangkok whether it was Zen or Central or even in the shops of MBK, almost every shop had the Sun.

But what about the Moon? Search and search and most of the shops only could tell me "No Stock". Some don't even know there was a Moon edition. Not until I was at the airport… Yes, at the airport on the way back to Singapore and what did I find in the Duty Free Shop? The Moon Monster LE!

I found the dial of the Sun Monster a little too crowded so I gave it a miss. But when I saw the Moon, I knew I had to get it. Even my son liked it. I suspect that it being a yellow dial sold out rather quickly as yellow is the colour of the Royal family in Thailand.

I have seen pictures of the Moon Monster and although it looks nice, it is nicer in the metal. It comes with a highly polished black bezel.

The seconds hand is a matching yellow to the dial, the markers and the numbers.

What a find! Did not hesitate just in case someone else behind me also wanted the same watch. So the credit card came out… THB24,500 poorer. But definitely a satisfied purchase. Even comes with a matching carrying bag.

Engraved at the back shows the watch is limited to 1313 pieces and comes with the hacking Calibre 4R36.

Now wouldn't that fit nicely with a black/yellow Nato Strap? Or maybe a black croc with yellow stitching?
