Looks like a date at 6 for the Omega and that [Z-O2] on the dial. Please bring back the sword hands.

Monta dropped a upgraded OceanKing with crown guards, lumed bezel this time around. The also came out with a Skyquest GMT with a gilt dial. I am really liking this mofo. :love: :love:

What’s the price on the Ocean King and did they change the movement?

Weird bend in the GMT hand. Nice enough looking, and probably high quality. I'd much rather have one than anything Chariman Yao sells.

I like that Monta. They design, build, and deliver watches quicker than Yao completes his preorder process.

It totally is. I saw the regular version at WInd Up and it was dope. This one is just icing on the cake.

I dont' know what the price is. They might stick with the Sellita, no idea.

The bend is what I like. It is bent to clear the 12/3/9 markers.

I'd prefer it to be the Sellita over the unnecessary and possibly hard to service in the future Eterna movement they used in the first version.

Is the hand stack different than a Rolex GMT? My gmt hand isn’t anywhere close to as near to the dial as this.

I liked the original Monta case without the guards. Other upgrades are nice though.
