FYI - for no-date fans....Monta!
Having owned both generations of the Monta Oceanking, I found the watch to be of great quality and very wearable. I wished for a no-date version and emailed them with that request long ago.
It appears others made a similar request, because when I emailed Monta today to check on it, they sent me the below photo. Preorder is open with Aug-Sept delivery.
This makes the Monta even better.
$1755 on bracelet (with Glidelock like clasp) and a bit less on fitted rubber.
Edit: more photos

They really do have a quality feel. The bezel is fantastic and with a Glidelock style clasp they become a solid choice.
I won’t be silly and compare it to a Rolex, but the Monta is less that 20% of what a 114060 is selling for these days.

Yep, once they realized their initial pricing structure was WAY out of line and reigned it in, the value proposition is there.hoppyjr wrote: ↑Mon Aug 05, 2019 10:25 amAgreed.Seppia wrote:With the ridiculous overpricing going on in the markets, Monta has become great value

That’s awesome. Who wouldd want an expensive homage when this is available? I feel bad now not paying any attention to Monta.

I wish they had used the red seconds hand on the gilt version.

thx for posting this ed
I previously posted my opinion that the gen II with date at 6 almost passes for a no date watch since the date window at 6 is so similar to the 12 marker at first glance.
(that said, I will likely move my gen II (hoppy worn) for a no date version on rubber once they're out.)

Good plan. I agree, the date window is well executed, but I do prefer the clean no-date version.jtbenson wrote:thx for posting this ed

Thank you. Been echoing the same for a while. Date at 6, perfect. 3,acceptable. 4/4:30, I will never understand.jtbenson wrote: ↑Mon Aug 05, 2019 11:48 amthx for posting this ed

I’ve been eyeballing a Monta addition for a while now.

That is super looking watch and I dig it on the rubber strap!
I enjoy looking at the pictures, but I'm broke and broken...

Will be an excellently made watch. I never warmed up to mine from the moment I unboxed it, but it was undoubtedly well executed.BacoNoir wrote:Yep, once they realized their initial pricing structure was WAY out of line and reigned it in, the value proposition is there.hoppyjr wrote: ↑Mon Aug 05, 2019 10:25 amAgreed.Seppia wrote:With the ridiculous overpricing going on in the markets, Monta has become great value
