    the skx779 & 781 are undervalued in the second hand market considering the price of 2nd and 3rd gen monsters are over priced. definitely a good value watch even in 2023. thanks for the video 👍

    Bought mine black dial with bracelet in the year 2007 (or 2008?) when I got my first ever bonus.
    It has travel with me since then to many countries, through many phases in life - single, married, with kids.
    Still going strong with use marks and few services and part changes. Until to date it is still the best watch among my others - good size, bright lume, distinctive toolish look, easy to read hands etc.

    I got one a love it. Defo a keeper for me too. I got mine in 2007 and never realised it would become such a classic. Excellent piece for my tiny collection which I intend to grow. Thanks for the video.

      You own 2 of the latest iterations, but why not own one from the 1st gen either the black or its orange brother 🍊 !
      You can't go wrong with a Seiko monster 😉

    The 1st gen Monster is still one of my favorites, even after experiencing Rolex and the like.
    This watch has the distinction of being the one I flipped the most in my first 10 years collecting, bought and sold and repurchased so many times I've lost count. Now the one I have is here to stay, and I will be reuniting with an orange monster eventually as well.

    It looks great on that bracelet Inspector. Reminds me of the Doxa sub. Is that the super engineer bracelet?
