Re: K2 Thread

Went down to K2 a couple of days ago to repair my red monster. His shelf was so empty! Looks like you guys went crazy over Xmas! :lol: Of the remaining watches one caught my eye. Came back to do some research and found out that it's the SUN019. Think I wet my pants a little. Price is a bit of a conc...

Citizen PMX56-2811

Really love the look of this watch.

Re: "Arnie" collection added

Nice watch!!! I'm a HUGE Arnold fan as well!

Can share roughly what price you got it for? Hope to get a ballpark figure just in case I chance upon one and do something rash.

Re: Poll - Diver Watches ??

Hi there. I have dived with my Luminox 3050 before. Since it's marketed as a "navy seal approved" watch I was thinking it would be able to take quite the beating. Held up well and I'm still wearing it.

Probably wouldn't do the same with my shiny 171 or monster though. Haha!

Congrats! Now for a unique shot... meet up your gal during the weekends, get a longer NATO strap, strap the watch onto your neck, ask her to use the phone cam and take a picture. Tell her...

Re: Seiko Red Tooth Monster vs Citizen Air Diver

TS, do you post in hwz as well? thought I've seen your nick before. well anyway, my vote goes to the monster - if you're talking about just base on looks. if you're considering other factors like wearing it for work on a daily basis? then perhaps the citizen is a better dress watch to look at. then...

Re: Seiko Red Tooth Monster vs Citizen Air Diver

So I went down to K2 today to change my strap for my 171, and change the battery for my other watch. The gentleman before me bought more than $100 worth of straps! Own up who is it?! Anyway Mr Goh was really a really nice guy, brought out a whole stack of straps to show me. Didn't make me feel uneas...

Re: Seiko Red Tooth Monster vs Citizen Air Diver

The Monster is a fun watch, but I'd say it looks slightly out of place under a shirt cuff. Full disclosure: while the above is true, I haven't let that stop me... ;) http://imageshack.us/a/img225/6134/imagebzt.th.jpg Ahhh. So you do have both watches. Haha. Shiok ah.

Re: Seiko Red Tooth Monster vs Citizen Air Diver

While I like the Monster, the Citizen is made of titanium and monocoque to boot. The type of extension clasp on this watch is a great addition, and really should be used on more Citizens. It's ratcheting like the MM300's, yet not as finicky and much easier to open, though otoh it does not open as m...

Re: Seiko Red Tooth Monster vs Citizen Air Diver

What i see is a clear difference between a all mechanical versus hybrid system. The concern i have in mine, will be after sales serviceability, even when warranty finishes. On looks, the CITIZEN is a clear classic and conservative design, the BLOODY FANGs SEIKO is a cult piece. No fight, Monster ov...

Re: Seiko Red Tooth Monster vs Citizen Air Diver

Re: All members,please come in & introduce youselves

Hi guys I'm new to this forum. Got my first Seiko maybe 3 or 4 years back, from a fellow forummer at HWZ.

Embarassingly I do not have a real collection of watches. Only 3 watches now, an skx171, luminox 3051, and a timex sports watch.

Then started browsing around the forum a little. One thing led to another and boom, i feel like buying another watch! Decided to use my birthday nex...
