Ah, mine is the SHC059P1. Am I still allowed to join in with the big boys?

I have had one of these ornage beauties for a year, and accuracy has not been an issue. Mine averages =/- 5 seconds a month, checked against the BBC time signal, which is good enough for me.

However, mine seems to be a slightly different. Stainless steel bracelet, but the bezel is black with large saw-tooth shaped er… teeth which click through a mechanism I can best decribe as 90ºopen, 90ºclosed, 90ºopen and 90ºclosed, if that makes sense. It also has four hex-bolts at 1300, 1700, 1900 and 2300 through the body. Is this a slightly newer model? I love it. It’s big, cheap and it works. And it’s orange, which is nice.

I have a Seiko diver with the same 7s26 movement which tends to run fast. So Accuracy is bad to say the least. Had the watch regulated by watch maker still runs fast, and was told this movement is inherently inaccurate.

Orange Monster 7S26 accurate to within 10sec per week (!) or per DAY? Per day seems much more likely (at best).

Yeah, it’s a nice watch. That’s why I got two monsters(orange and black dial). Unbeatable in this pricerange.
