| Woohoo !!! ..This Abominable Snowman Rocks ! Some OUTSTANDING ideas, and work done here by Jake and Noah ! On the one hand you have the reliability and good looks of the Seiko Monster. However, then things get taken to a whole new level which is uniquely cool !!! What's REALLY impressive is how everything comes together so nicely with the look. The regular Seiko bezel is aggressive with those chunks taken out of the bezel. Then you look at the dial and notice chunks taken out around the markers. It is a feature which kind of jumps out at you, and just honestly looks GOOD too !!! ..When you stop and think about it, it ALL look GREAT ! ..It's a FANTASTIC mod, but seems like it could have come from Seiko like this. Would be nice to tell someone how this is a one of kind watch that noone else is going to have out there as well. ..You can probably spend quite a bit of time just looking at the way the center of the dial is. That white circle IS phenomenal if you ask me. Your eyes do gravitate towards it, but it's a neat focal point of the watch that helps create that "Abominable Snowman" theme ! ..The gray outer ring is an EXCELLENT touch also. Not only does it help show off the center of the watch, but it looks NICE by itself. It also shows off those cool markers by the way. ..Oh and can't forget the hands on your new watch Steve ! ..The minute hand is nice and BIG, while the hour hand changes things up, reflecting the look of those markers ! ..That second hand fits in perfectly as well. Great job picking this watch up sir ! It's a VERY special watch !!! Congratulations to you, and I know you will be ENJOYING this one ! ..P.S. I knew the Abominable Snowman existed !!! Scary GOOD picture by the way ! ____________________________________ | |

| thanks again guy's!! tom, you give the best feedback ever, you pick up every detail of the watch and for that i thank you. one realy cool thing on this watch is the chapter ring, seeing how the crystal has a blue a.r. coating, it makes the chapter ring look like its a dark royal blue in certain lighting. that blue realy makes this dial pop!! i think this is 1 of 2 abominable's that he made and not sure but i think the last, but this one has diferant hands and a domed crystal, so i guess you can say its 1 of a kind. thanks again to everyone. jake you out did yourself!! thanks steve | |

| Hey, thanks for the compliment Steve ! ..It's an honor, and it's also incredibly fun to look at, and enjoy these watches, along with all of the terrific details about them ! ..By the way, the chapter ring/a.r. coating, blue lighting effect, sounds especially nice !!! ..Enjoy ! ____________________________________ | |

| Great mod. I really like that dial and was thinking of having Noah/Jake put together a 007 mod with it. Wouldn't have thought of using it for the monster but it looks great. Congrats. | |
