    Doug -
    Great review. I read your review before buying a Frankenmonster/Lumezilla (pics borrowed). A friend bought it for himself along with a Orange Monster and after wearing it a couple of days he decided it was too big for him so, I bought it. I really like this one, and it glows bright enough to light a small baseball field... if I lived by the ocean I could guide ships safely through the rocks

    I just bought this watch today. Been looking for my second Seiko Diver Auto after my Black Monster which I love so much, but this time I am looking for a bigger watch than the monster. Can't wait until I get mine.

    I just got my watch and was resizing when I noticed the brassing of the links, does your watch have this same issue with the IP coating ? Here is a macro pic of what I have on my band.

    I don't have it anymore....but it is definitely a known issue on these watches.....no big deal thought as it can only be seen when you take it off and look for it between the links.

    I found this to be so, so I changed the bracelet with a divers rubber strap (flat type) and modded the dial and hands. I've the pic attached here so It sorta give you some idea of the Mod done to it.

    Oh I also had the dial orientated so that the '5' crown is positioned at the 10 o'clock. Cheers!
