      I'm a tad biased, Mega, but I think the blue dial Mako is a really versatile, beautiful watch.  Mechanically, either one is a great buy.  They will both be totally dependable for years, despite whatever abuse you subject them to, but the Mako will look good in any situation, from suits to overalls.  I don't think the Monster has the same flexibility.

      EDIT: glad you're enjoying it Rafa.:)  I still have mixed feelings about letting it go, but I just didn't wear it often enough.

        No sapphire dial though… But not mineral either: hardlex...

        Hardlex is mineral. However I wouldn't pass on a nice watch because of that..

        AIAN HA-TO!

          I'd go with this one. (pic borrowed from Google)

          Just because i love the looks of it. Tone it down with a leather strap, wear a rubber strap for a sporty look and the steel bracelet to show who's the boss.. 😉

          Not saying the mako is not a nice watch, but personally I'll go with the Monster…

              Hmmm been looking at:



              For 125 $… No sapphire dial though... But not mineral either: hardlex...

              Incommiiiiiinnngg. Came to 90 €. Not bad. It's def within the budget. 🙂 It's brandnew/ unworn/ unaltered as well.

                      Great looking watch setting off a damn near perfect look today. Well done!

                                        Agree to disagree, I don't have girly wrists I need a watch that is substantial 44mm-46mm for me.
