I’ve always admired these since first issue

But never got around to buying one

Which would be the best one to buy as representative of the line. Seems like it would have to be orange and that’s great because orange watches are a favorite of mine

I had an original orange one. I really like the vampire one that Artman picked up.

I like the Save the Ocean SRPG57 I posted yesterday for $266. viewtopic.php?p=527461#p527454
Better in some ways with hack and wind 4R36. I also never cared for the green colored indices on the OG models.

Same here. The SRP313 is a honey.

That Save The Ocean one is pretty nice

A Monster would be a signal event in my downscaling of my collection

Those vampire monsters and other shark tooth style monsters are nice but my favorite low budget Shark tooth diver are the Albas of yore, came in a number of colors
