WATCH POP

Hello folks,
My first Seiko is an Orange Monster, and my second purchased today is the Black Monster. This is the first time I purchase different dials of basically the same watch (well, my Rolex GMT II and Explorer II have the same movement but they are also different in their bezels).
I simply like the aggressive feel of the watch, and find the black dial even more "cool" than the orange one, hence went to get it today. I purchased the orange dial first because I thought I had not had any watch with an orange dial before.
This watch is already well documented here, so I just copy its specifications below:
Seiko 200M Auto Diver (Reference no. SKX779K for black monster, SKX781K for orange monster)
Movement: automatic, caliber: Seiko 7S26. No hacking, no manual winding, day and date are quickset.
Case in stainless steel. Diameter: 41mm, thickness: 12mm, lug width: 20mm. Bezel is unidirectional with ratchets. Water resistance: 20ATM. Screw-down crown. Crystal is slightly domed hardlex (Seiko's version of hardened mineral crystal)
Dial markers and hands are luminous.
Bracelet in stainless steel, with diver extension and flip-lick clasp. 
The following are some photos to share with you.
The two monsters side by side:
The watch case and the bracelet are both very solidly built. It's hard to imagine a watch at this price level can have this fine quality finish.
Using a bit of light reflection, we can see the matt black dial here. Also, notice the surrounding minute marker ring that is curved and slightly higher than the dial. This gives the dial a even more 3-D feel.
I dimmed the light slightly, and the luminosity of the markers is readily seen.
Here is a wrist shot. It fits perfectly my 7" wrist.
Thanks for reading.
Cheers,
