The first gen monster has a 7s movement, but the second gen have a 4r36 movement. It's pretty accurate.Originally posted by mrsleeve View Post
I love my 2nd gen OM. It's a great value.Comment

Never really like monsters so I was not aware they were putting 4r36's in them. That said the 4r36 is the economy version of the 6r15, both of which are re-engineered 7s26's with upgraded main springs, revised hairsprings, with hand winding and hacking capabilities added. While the 6r is much more advanced than the 7s there is a very common heritage...Last edited by mrsleeve; 10-17-2014, 09:49 AM.The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money. -Alexis de TocquevilleOriginally posted by Fusion

My modest little collection is growing.
Not pictured is an Invicta 8926 that I'm in the process of modding. Next on the list is a Seiko SARB017 Alpinist.
Picked up a 22mm rubber strap and notched it to fit the 18mm lugs.
Removed the bezel and lightly brushed it to take a way the polish and show a little bit of brass on the edges. Nato strap was an easy choice. Maybe I'll throw a mesh bracelet on it at some point to finish up the vintage diver look.
This one will be getting a Fifty Five Fathoms mod with sailcloth style strap. Very soon.
This is my first watch, had it for over 15 years now. Not bad for the $50 spent.

Let me know what you think of the SARB. It photographs really nicely but I feel like it would be weird in person.Originally posted by ParsedOut View PostMy modest little collection is growing.

I really like the look of that Citizen - thanks for the heads up. I've been looking for another diver so I can pound on my Orient Mako.Originally posted by ParsedOut View Post"We praise or find fault, depending on which of the two provides more opportunity for our powers of judgement to shine."Comment

There are lots of good looking SARB's the 17 is not one of them too me at least. Its a very good watch but just nothing I would ever wear, now a SARB065 "cocktail time" is another story ..... I love my SARG that I have had on almost every day since June which is the current incarnation of the SARB line the 6r15 is a wonderful movement ....
There are 2 more in the current SARG line that I would like to pick up at some point, the the 011 and 015
If your looking for a diver you really cant beat a sk007. The only citizen I would like to pick up right now is the IWC Miramar knock off
This is the latest thing I have been drooling over though, I am not sure about the price/investment into a somewhat unknown (at least too me) brand

I recently found my dads old seiko H558 -5009. Its in rough shape. Needs new crystal, bezel repaint, missing a screw on the side, basically needs a full restore. Anyone here who knows watches have a ball park on how much it would cost to restore?
I will post pics tonight.Comment

My dad's Seiko A-029-5000. c.1978. Not as baller as y'alls but an early example of a digital watch.
