SEIKO MONSTER SRPH13 Full Review (BLACK SERIES) Limited Edition

[@djapojunior]

I'd usually always prefer stainless steel over black pvd. But surprisingly, especially for a Monster, I really like this. 👏

[@EscapementWatch]

same as me I usually prefer SS

[@nexttimewatchreview]

This is one collectible Monster! The Seiko Monster market in Thailand is quite crazy. Many are going for over 1300-1500USD. Especially the older ones.

[@GODSPEEDseven]

Glad you put this up, I've been checking youtube this last week for this series. I disagree about the candybar cyclops though. I like the cyclops'. I feel they emphasize the tool-like feel of these watches.

[@EscapementWatch]

Fair enough!

[@davidstjohn7943]

I think it kinda fits with the monster aesthetic, like you say, in a way it really doesn't on a turtle. On a turtle, it adds this boxy tool dimension to a beautifully curved, almost organic steel case shape. On the monster, it fits that industrial, excessive feel of the watch. I quite like it on the monster, whereas I'd avoid the king turtles just for have having one.

[@stevek5909]

I agree- I might buy the watch just because of the cyclops . As an older guy with failing eyes, I need a cyclops to see the date.

[@lucassl7776]

Secondo me in questa versione è semplicemente fantastico 😍

[@LambentLizard]

Keep up the great work man!

[@EscapementWatch]

Appreciate it!

[@EVil-ob8in]

Wanted a monster and a pvd diver in my collection. One watch, two boxes ticked.

[@07DSMTSI]

Can't wait for the Penguin/ Antarctica version review. I just bought the Manta Ray and now I'm looking at the Antarctica version.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

That's a great piece! Highly recommend it 😊👊 I just got it, reviewed it and I love it! That dial 😍😍🔥🔥

[@AkashTheboss]

Waiting for black series tuna video as you mentioned in this video. Nice video btw.

[@EscapementWatch]

It's coming just got busy with work

[@philiphynes6959]

Such a Great review, I ordered my “Ninja Monster” 4 days ago apropos of this viewing (I was lucky) I got the last one from my Seiko Dealer/ I reckon there’s not many of the 7000 left now, Thank you for this presentation - really nice style you have / thorough, honest, cool & relaxing ! Looking forward to my 1st Monster - besides 2 Baby Monsters / do they count :o ?? Oh, & Btw, I love the “candy bar cyclops” I think it makes the watch look more “finesse” & adds to the functionality & practicality (Reminiscent of Rolex??)

[@red75v67]

I actually think this looks better than the Dark Samurai and I'm a Sam fan.

[@yaaxarr8977]

Thank you!! I feel honored it bro 🙏🏻. Your channel is an inspiration for many watch enthusiasts and our FB group is day by day more interested in your reviews. Pls keep the great job 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻 and need to share this As soon as possible 🙌🏻

[@EscapementWatch]

It's my pleasure

Fantastic watch! Can never go wrong with the stealth look! Would love to have this watch! Great video! Cheers!

[@EscapementWatch]

You and me both!

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Like how this looks 😍🔥🔥loving the stealth look. I just got my hands on the Antarctica, reviewed it and I love it! You'll love it, that dial is amazing 😊🍻

[@EscapementWatch]

Thank you so much!!

[@robbasilio7235]

Just bought it....I don’t like it...I love it!!!!

[@onoff5604]

Could you shine a UV light on the dial to show what parts may or may not fluoresce under water? Thank you.

[@halfpastblog]

I think this Monster suits the black treatment extremely well. That minute hand is a knock out.

[@EscapementWatch]

the moment I tried it on.... Sometimes I think I'm not a fan of a watch and the moment I try it on...hmmm!

[@halfpastblog]

@@EscapementWatch Absolutely. And sometimes you try it on and it is a let down.

[@fungus70]

Cool looking watch but I find the silicone strap a little too narrow.

[@ciolobmw]

I live this watch ,beautiful

[@EscapementWatch]

It really is!

[@whodeycinbengals]

In love with this watch, but I wish the lugs were a couple mm shorter

[@kikomachine8276]

I'm already having sleepless nights with all these new Seikos... Dont know what to get next... I'm about to pickup my SRPG47 later today from my dealer... And I'm about to see all of these new stuff all at the same time... So stressful... Hahaha

[@EscapementWatch]

hahaha It will be a fun time! Enjoy the pick up! Grats!

Great review, I've just received my seiko 140 anniversary will you be doing the review of the watch The dial looks the business very happy. I didn't mention the model its the GMT SPB223J1

[@EscapementWatch]

There are a handful of 140 year seikos which one are you talking about? I did a couple white ones already 140th

[@rubensanmaurodelbosqur1950]

Excelente video 😀.

[@emersonekwebelem3094]

Is the bezel ceramic?

[@EscapementWatch]

No it is steel DLC coating on top.

[@gmotionedc5412]

I want the orange dial where can I get it??

[@EscapementWatch]

discontinued only used market now but prices are usually to high

[@gmotionedc5412]

@@EscapementWatch this black has grown on me and now I want one!

[@shukhamid3682]

It remind me of the older gen black monster with the gold crown. SRP583 i think. The SRPH13 dial is less busy compared to Black Night (SZEN) series. Well to make it short, 1 monster to make you itching for the other monster.

[@anthonystevens8683]

Thanks for the review, great photography and video. I like this but like you I'm not a fan of the candy bar cyclops, also I prefer the date at the six position if a date is needed. Having said all that I do like it. The hardlex crystal would be protected by the concave bezel to a degree but the cyclops looks like it's proud of the concave structure so is likely to get marked easier than the crystal.

[@EscapementWatch]

Thanks for sharing

[@Ryan-cv9me]

I owned this gen monster and the crystal scratched before the magnifier. Eventually replaced it with double dome clear AR coated sapphire. It works well very for it's purpose as a back up for my dive computer. I agree day/date is useless, but it's nice if I wear it into the office.

[@AmcoAutoGlass]

can't wait for frost monster

[@cesmatt]

I can not decide between this Monster Black series or the 4th gen black dial with rubber strap SRPD27K1 One thing I don't like about this black edition is the strap...but that's can be easily change... Can't make my mind up

[@EscapementWatch]

black series!

[@martinkaplan1805]

I like it!

[@daddykool9507]

Do review on Dark Sumo SPB125j

[@guitaristangmechaniko9336]

Supposedly this watch should I buy last time.. But I am not lucky that time doesn't have an offer... I bought only the other brother of seiko black series edition and solar seiko.

[@barryvercueil2346]

Beautiful watch. I just wish they would leave out the cyclops.

[@GodIsInHisHeaven]

Seiko including on most of their watches since going more upmarket. Perhaps another way to differentiate from older models and give impression to consumers they are getting 'more' from the price hikes?

[@Foxingban]

it's there so you can read the date in bad light and when a human starts getting in to their 50's reading glasses might be required

[@JacReviewsStuff]

No! The bezel is concave to protect the crystal. It's the reason I bought my monster 👾

[@emersonekwebelem3094]

Is the bezel ceramic?

[@clarencebenjaminlim]

Think of the 3 dark series. I like the samurai, best.

[@ocb05]

TBH, the SKX still look best as a classic.

[@EscapementWatch]

Haha so true

[@52aka47]

I have 400th one :)

I have the srp583 & srp311, both 2nd generation! This is ok, but Teeth make the Monster! As soon as they ditch the baby teeth I'll get a new Monster!

Maybe gen 5

[@annazahre1549]

Black and orange

[@caravansvisits]

Dear Seiko, stop making the black series limited edition. The price becomes too high, and the beauty of the black coating doesn't last more than couple years.

[@ojsimps701]

6r36 for that price come on seiko

[@roadgent7921]

Careful pulling the crown out they have a tendency to detach completely.
