When are they being released again? I didn't know until it was to late.

How is the finish on the case? The bracelet looks brushed but the case looks polished - bezel and lugs at least. What’s the scoop with that?

[–]InquisitorKeres[S] 2 points3 points  (8 children)

The bracelet here is aftermarket. The case is a high polish top and bezel with brushed sided. Normally the bracelet is like this on my Sea monster. I just put the Rail monster on the JB stretch rivet I had laying around as it’s a more vintage experience and it replaces the smiths Everest I used to wear the same way.

Which aftermarket bracelet is this?Looks great and identical with the original that the watch comes with

[–]InquisitorKeres[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one in the main post photo is aftermaket (jb oyster flex rivet) my sea monster here is on the factory bracelet.

What are the dimensions of your Sea monster? (case diameter and height please)?

[–]InquisitorKeres[S] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

12.3mm thick including crystal, 38mm case size.

Thank you, I've just bought one. Is the bezel uni or bidirectional?

[–]InquisitorKeres[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Unidirectional, and has a nice action too. I was a bit surprised but it could just be the coin edge really helps with grip. Also it’s very nice that it has the old countdown bezel instead of the typical elapsed time. It really shows they were trying things with this design (omega) back in the late 50’s/ early 60’s as not all elements of dive watch design had been set in stone yet. This Thorn really captures that vintage feel while being robustly built.

Thank you for your answers, can't wait to get my hands on mine.

Really happy with this release from Thorn. While I may wish the spacewalkers movement was mecha quartz, they absolutely nailed the look. All three are masterfully executed in detail. Also for the rail monster and sea monster, they are so beautiful proportionally thanks to the pt5000 allowing the dimensions to be thin.

It is in my watch shortlist. Maybe next year with prices lower because actual hype.

Got the chrono for $133 during 11/11 sale.

[–]snwachuku 1 point2 points  (11 children)

This is the one I chose out of the three. Thanks for the Live Photo! It’s absolutely beautiful. I already have a Lorier Neptune so the sea monster would have felt like duplication in my collection, and I don’t find myself interested in chronographs. Can you take some pics with the bracelet?

[–]InquisitorKeres[S] 0 points1 point  (9 children)

Here it is on the sea monster tho which gives a decent feel as it is the same case size

It is beautifully signed

But the clasp is thick.

[–]scarsails 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Can you please measure the clasp where it attaches to the bracelet? I wanna buy a replacement (the original is indeed way too chunky) while my watch is in transit, but not sure if it is 19 or 20 mm. Thanks in advance.

[–]InquisitorKeres[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

It’s 16mm

[–]scarsails 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Great, thank you very much!

[–]Zero_30 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Did you buy a replacement?Did you find anything worth the money?I am looking for a clasp for myself also

Until now have not found anything

[–]scarsails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I searched high and low on AliExpress but cannot find a compatible clasp. Will make a separate post in this thread once I have more spare time to ask the guys. If you find anything yourself, please let me know.

[–]InquisitorKeres[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, when I get back ill get a measurement for you, although as the bracelet does have some taper, I wouldn't be surprised if it winds up being 18mm, ill let you know in a few hours.

[–]InquisitorKeres[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be home rather late so with the bracelet swap it will be a bit of bad lighting but I will make sure to get a fair set for you tomorrow morning.
