I have several mechanical Seikos, a vintage world time and a diver from the late 70's. Both great watches. I think Seiko did themselves a disservice when they started spitting out the cheap quartz watches in the 80's and 90's. The baby boomers had these cheapies when they were young. Now that they are older and can afford anything they want, they associated Seikos with the cheapies and find it hard to pony up for a Grand Seiko. I'm not familiar with the Monsters, but Seikos are hard to beat for the $$$$$.
