    I was doing it for fun and it became too much of a business so I stopped a few years ago. I'm not even certain who does this or has parts anymore. I'd do something occasionally if it's interesting but back then I had modded nearly every model in the Seiko catalog but a 300 & 600 MM and was pretty burned out. This was actually my first Monster and probably my favorite (it was my personal watch). It had a three step bead blasting to get the color right and then was clear Teflon coated. The monster bracelet is one of the few that can be coated and will hold up. The lume was actually done by Chris W. in his modding days before he started Lum-Tec in exchange for some coated cases. I came up with the black and orange theme along with the logo lume idea.

    Love my Vampire, especially on rubber. I did buy the bracelet, and it's nice, but for me a dive watch belongs on rubber.

    That's great news! Especially the blue and gold, that'd be very hard to replace.

    Hi all

    There's some beautiful Monsters in this thread!

    I only have one common Orange version, It was de glossed by the previous owner with Scotchbrite or something similar..







    Cheers, John
