Well worth the 3 week lead time

congrats! it's very nice..wear it in good health. wanted a monster that time (new version) but it looks too huge for me.Is this a mini? how big is the size of this monster?

Thanks VW. Lost my mini monster last year, been wanting to replace it. So got this, but preferred this over the new monster. I don't know why also! I don't think this is the mini, for mini, the crown is at 3 o clock i think, am i right people? Correct me if i'm wrong! This monster is 46mm with crown.

not sure about the new monster.
but yes the original monster has the crown at 4'oclock and the mini monster is at 3.

Mini monster is rated 100m and has the seiko 5 badge.
Original monster is rated 200m and doesn't have the seiko 5 badge

Yeah that's some of the differences i saw but wasn't sure. But it feels much better on wrist than my old mini monster.

Definitely, just the bracelet alone is quite a big difference in quality already

Actually, till today I can't remember which incident it was that I lost it in. It was either the time when I was helping to stop a fight ongoing or during valet parking. I also kaypoh go stop fight. Valet parking was I left it at the side compartment. These two events happened one day after another so I couldnt recall which day I lost it.. and when recently, i saw YOUR mini, i recalled how much i enjoyed mine.

So when i got it today, i was thrilled!

New and old mostly the same, except the index design. And of course, the biggest upgrade, the movement: auto + hand wind + hacking ftw!

 

[lingalong]

Sorry noob question. The difference between Orient and OrientStar is it the same as between Seiko and Grand Seiko?

And is there any recommended website for OrientStar? Only manage to find Orient on Creationwatches website.

Um got difference meh. Other than the indices.

Old is numbered but cause the index different shape in the first place
