Yes, n to think that getting the agent-supplied 311 from him was cheap, now it's bordering on pasar malam prices! ( I'm evil, trying to poison those reding this)! Lol!Mstallone723 wrote:Yup!! Now he has the parallel imports, very affordable guys!! Bought 2 ;(

Very apt description. It grows on you.ckw wrote:jus gotten a 313 this morning after seeing all the photos...no regrets...the red bordered markers looks jus like blood lined fangs...how appropriate for a monster with fangs and with halloween jus round the corner...
I think it's not really fair to compare. but both are workhorses in their own right.ckw wrote:actually...its quite amazing...personally, i think this monster 2012 is same or even better than the Sinn U1, which i almost bought...and monster 2012 is like 15% of Sinn S1???!!! wow...ridiculous...seiko monster with own movement vs Sinn U1 ETA???!!! think i will get a monster anytime than a U1...

the 4r36 is a lower beat movement compared to the eta 2824-2 used in the U1. thus, the second hand sweep is not as smooth. often appears jerkier.
I'm not an expert but i do believe that power reserve wise, the eta might be better, if not just marginally.
accuracy wise, i would think the 2824 has a slight edge but then again, it comes in at least 3 different grades.
but in terms of case and bracelet, i agree that the monster's case and bracelets and links feel heftier and more solid. just ot a bit, if you have a chance to see the bracelet adapter of the stargate bracelet, you'll see that it's a whole solid chunk.
i'll post a pic later if time permits.
i also think that quality-wise, seiko's movement might not be that consistent. I've done some tests on the 55's (7s36) and the newer 4r's. i placed them in the 4 snzh's in the winder at the same time but all stopped at different time. did the same with the sardines running on the same movement as the new monsters, result was the same, all stopped at different times.
but then again, for the price we paid for these watches, it;s relaly bang for the buck, imho.
i once asked ah goh, how often do we have to service our seiko's. his remark was simple, just come back when it's not working properly. parts replacements are cheap.
in sumary, in terms of case and bracelet finishing and material, seiko's price point are a steal. but in terms of the movement, i think you cant really compare against the 2824-2. though both are equally reliable in their own right, but both are tops in their individual catergories. just my 2 cent's, layman's view.
