I'm trying to figure out how this gray market marvel is different from the Orange Monster (also available in black) that has the same specs, a mineral instead of hardlex crystal and sells for $195 on Amazon with a US warranty.

jockchessNot same specs. I have 2nd gen black monster (SRP307) and it has 4R36 movement not 6R15, way smaller and the build quality is not up to Sumo. 3rd gen monster (SRP637K1) looks better than 2nd gen, has 4R36 movement and it costs a lot more. And none of them come in blue dial :-)

jockchessThe "mineral" crystal on the Orange Monster is the same hardlex. I'm pretty sure most Seikos in the $$$ range use hardlex, otherwise it's sapphire. As sound1 pointed out, the SRP uses the 4R36 movement while the Sumo uses the 6R15. They're both the same beat rate, but the 6R15 is a higher quality movement and has proven to be more stable over time. The surface finishing on the Sumo is also better. I paid $460 for my Sumo 1.5 years ago, and I consider it a bargain at that price. This drop had it for over $100 less, and that's a steal!
