Wow...Great looking watch. Can I ask: Will all dial colors be available immediately, or will you introduce them one at a time? Can you post a picture of the new stainless steel braclet? Will the new braclet fit your current Sea Anglers? Thank you Michael |

Same case? Thought the Sea Angler was 45mm, Berg's spec says this one is 47mm, which would make it same case size as my Panerai Fiddy? Am gonna go set em side by side and see... O.A. Gaspar wrote: srh_pres wrote: |

here are the specs: - 47mm wide - 55mm lugs to lugs - 19mm thick - 22mm lugs - sapphire crystal - 60 clics rotating bezel - 300M water resistant - custom made rubber band - C3 super luminova hands and dial - miyota 8215 auto movt the monstrum was made from the sea angler s case , the difference is the wider bezel , the crystal , and the crown , the lugs are also shaped differently. the price is not decided yet but it will be under the 350. the first model will be the blue , all models will be available for 2007. regarding the ss band , i will do my best to offer it before fall .

Berg, I love it...the size worries me a little (as a personal concern). Is it 47mm including crown or plus crown? the back design is fantastic and I see you have incorporated the lore of the ORSA Class Submarine. All in all........VERY cool10.gif!!!!! |

I noticed on the 8215 in my SeaPro that I can 'pseudo-hack' it by reverse winding and holding with the second hand at 12. Similarly I think to the 7S26 movement in the Seiko Monsters? or do I need more caffeine this morning?? O.A. Gaspar wrote: IWR222 wrote: |

Looks like the movement is an 8205. I am not well versed in the difference(s) between that and an 8215... Anybody? You can psuedo hack them by applying a bit of backward pressure... don't think it is recommended per the manufacturer. Strangely enough though the Miyotas are considered bombproof, I have had problems with two... My Magico which arrived DOA and a skeletonized Harley Davidson Bulova for my Pops which was running about 3 hours fast a day. Both are better now!! |
|||||||||

yamahaki Guest

my only experience with the movement has been pretty good so far. The seikos I've owned and have now have had no problems. the only thing I have found is they run alittle fast. on average around 15 + secs.a day which isn't bad at all. most of us are used to our watches being +/- 1 to 4 a day which is better than cosc. Just shake the watch to start it and off it goes. I like to be able to hack and wind a movement, but I really don't need those functions on a diver thats not going to be used for military manuvers or any real diving.hand6.gif |

IWR222 3T WIS

thanks for the info guys ,i would prefer it if the watch could be hand wound as i like to change my watches often and it would be easier if it did . is the mostrum the only new watch coming from orsa or are those others that were likened to the zodiac also on the horizon. i belive that it also had the same myota movment in it. was that work in progress redefined as the mostrum or is there another watch still to come yellow sea angler i dont understand what subliminal message. |

IWR222 wrote: thanks for the info guys ,i would prefer it if the watch could be hand wound as i like to change my watches often and it would be easier if it did . I think you misunderstood...while the Miyota is a non-hacking movement, it IS a hand windable movement! |

Eric L. 3T WIS

Yeah in the end, I much prefer handwind over hacking if I had to pick one feature. Non windable movements drive me nuts because I always think they will suddenly stop (even though they never do). The non hacking, you can always do the pseudo-hack by applying reverse pressure. |

yep ken your right. checked that s1 and it does wind. and very well I may add. had it confused with the seiko. |

yamahaki wrote: yep ken your right. checked that s1 and it does wind. and very well I may add. had it confused with the seiko. The base Seiko movements (7S27/7S36) are not hacking and not hand-windable while the move up (6R15, etc) does both. The Seiko rotoer on the 7Sxx movement are bi'directional, though, and do a superb job of auto winding. The same with the base Orient movements....I am not sure if Citizen (Miyota) has a hacking movement in their stable. |

Outstanding watch! But I am little worried about the strap fixing, It doesnt look like standard one, will I be able to change straps without modification? Or is it just some kind of strap-to-case link used there? And another question - is there any chance for monstrum with black dial? coyote2.gif P.S.

so, i really had to register to 3T cos im really interested in a Orsa watch. I have been watching for a big diver kind of watch but there seems to nothing out there (or they start at 3000$->;) and i dont have that kind of money atm) and i want a white dial one cos i have my black B&M <<<<<< But the Orsa Monstrum seems really cool and i was whondering if its  going to be available in a "clear bezel" version like the sea angler in the above pic. I would definitely go for a clear bezel + black and white dial version... Cheers and greets from Santa Claus- Land >Finland< |
