Woohoo!!! Got my Orange Monster

Two of the rings hold the watch in place on the strap. Without these two rings, on some wrists, the watch might slide around on the band, and actually end up on the side of your wrist, instead of on the top. If that makes any sense.

The other two rings are just to hold the excess strap material. "By the book", you run the tag end out through the rings, and then back into the rings again. I guess this allows you to use the watch strap normally, and then use the full length of the strap when running it over the sleeve of a dive suit. I just cut the strap to size, melt the end, and use the rings like a normal strap keeper. I'll never wear mine over a dive suit.

Your watch is running quite fast. My new Monster is gaining about 8 seconds per day. Then again, my SKX171, which has the same movement, loses about 20 seconds per day. If you like, you can try to regulate the movement yourself, if you're brave enough. You remove the case back, and then adjust a tiny lever, two speed up or slow down the watch. Here's where the lever is:

 
Thanks Buzz.

I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to open the back just yet.

Regardless of the inaccuracy, there is something very special about the Monsters!
 
Anyone have any pictures or could take some of an OM comnpared to a Rolex Sub. Really like the looks of the OM, but not sure of the size. I've had the sub for 5+ years and find that the size fits me well. The sub just doesn't fit in on my new job and I just want a new watch....Somebody post some pics to help me over the edge.
 
How could the Sub not fit in where a Monster would?

-Sounds like you just want a new watch!! ;) :D

I think we all know that feeling. :thumbup:

Style isn't an issue, divers watch is ok. Has more to due with the fact that it's a "Rolex" and we shouldn't wear things like that in the plant.
