Reader's Wrist : Seiko Jade Monster G3

I updated earlier that a watch collector friend flew over to KL specially to check out the Last Man On The Moon. He informed that he had been researching loads about this piece and all the dates associated with this piece ticked the right boxes for him. 

Just imagined if you will, he just read about my advert 2 days ago @ https://andywristwatches.blogspot.com/2019/04/wts-omega-last-man-on-moon-limited.html; and he immediately made arrangements to view the piece over the weekend. You don't get much more of a hardcore Speedy enthusiast than this- not by much more to stretch anyway.

This was the 3rd piece of LMOTM that I had on my hand, and I was glad that it would be going to a good home. In fact, the collector asked me to assist to strap on the vintage rally strap, so that he could wear it back to the hotel immediately. Do wear it in good health, mate!

On the way to Pool Cafe, he was actually spotting the Seiko Jade Monster G3. This was a piece that I also had an interest on; but since Seiko Monster G4 was just around the corner for its pre-order launch, I decided to hold on and wait for it to be released first. 

This would be how the G4 would looked like, and it would be retailing at circa RM2k. Expect the real world prices to be circa RM1.6k and below. Do note that the G3 had the more premium 6R15 movement; while G4 reverted back to the 4R36, most probably due to cost considerations.

It would seemed as though the above Monster G4 had the faux patina lume, although it could be just the colours of the advert. We shall know soon enough come next month.

And of course, prior to the collector's departure, we did a wrist shot together; so checked out the Daytona Diamond and LMOTM together. Both were handsome pieces, although the rarer status would have to go to the LMOTM!
