Hi all, just wanted you to know that I just won an ebay auction for the OM on a bracelet - for USD150, shipped (it's less than half a price from where I live, actually it's about one third of the local prices for the OM) ! Can't wait to lay my hands on this watch already o| Now I just need to think of a proper excuse to my wife for buying another watch in the last couple of months ...

Anyway, pictures will follow shortly after the watch arrival.

Congrats Sir! You will love it :-!

For the meantime, mine says Hi! ;-)

You'll have a lot of fun with it. Wear it in good health!

My favorite watch buying counter-excuse:

How many pairs of shoes have you bought this past month? (of course you'll be celebrating your victory and admiring your new watch while sleeping on the sofa!!)

Or there's always the non-confrontational approach: "Diamonds, that'll shut her up!" (just don't get caught admiring the lume of your new watch while, er, receiving "thanks" for the diamond. That'll land you on the couch too and have you cooking for yourself also.)

Cheers and congrats on the OM!!

Link to where you purchased it? Yes watches are expensive here in Canada too. One store tried to sell me skx007 for 500$

Whoa! You could buy 3 monsters for that with natos for each! ;-)

Haha yeah most AD's here will actually give you about 40% off so it isn't that bad it was just that store. I still look out for local deals but I think I am going to buy my next watch (probably an orange monster) online.

I watched this seller for a while and just grabbed the opportunity when I saw one
Usually the OM bids close at ~$135 + $28 shipping. I paid for mine for $122.5 + $28 shipping. Just for comparison - the cheapest local store I could find, sells the OM's for $400 (!!!).

Things to do:
1. Get a Black Monster
2. Get a Diplomat Dual Watch Winder
3. Sit there and watch them wind
4. Figure out which one you're going to wear

I really like this green / orange combination. Very sharp-looking watch on that strap.

Just a quick update - the Monster has arrived ! It's one gorgeous-looking piece of time-machinery
Pictures and more detailed impressions will follow shortly ...

Congrats.
The Monster was my biggest surprise Seiko. I ordered it but wasn't really sure I was going to like it. As soon as I put it on I knew I made the right decision.

 

[jkchua]

Nothing can be more exciting to us when a watch arrives ;-)

Congrats Sir! Looking forward to your pics :-!
