I have been stalking this watch for a month or so and really liked it from the moment I saw a picture.  This watch is a big boy, with a 47mm stainless steel and composite case.

I love the bracelet on this watch, with the knurled texture on the center links. The all black PVD and composite construction has a very stealthy “Darth Vader” look to it.

The watch gets its nickname, “Frankenmonster” because of the crown that is located at the 4 o’clock position. It seems to resemble the bolts in the side of Frankenstein’s neck, and since this watch also resembles the Seiko Monster, it was dubbed Frankenmonster by it’s owners everywhere.

Here is a closer shot of the dial, I love the hobnail texture to the center of the dial, and the large markers that glow like a torch in the dark!
