both designs are different so i will suggest get the BM 1st then slowly hunt for the red sardine :mrgreen:

used to own e old monster, from a noob like me, feel that e bracelet is not one of best bracelet ard. very uncomfortable, of cause you can buy one with rubber strap. Why not consider e new monster :?: better movement, look nicer and a few models to choose from.

tough decision
both are nice models. Black monster is a nice all rounder watch, running on the robust 7S movt and 7S are slowly phasing out, replaced by the new 4Rs
i like the ruggedness look for the BM
as for the red sardine, new 4R movt, hack/handwind. I like the hands used for these models but not the plastic shroud. I foresee issues in the long run due to our weather.
in terms of wrist presence & design, the red sardine is the winner
in terms of originality, black monster is the winner

Agree on the movement, but a better looker? It just looks almost identical with different colors.

with a BM as my regular watch, i say go for the BM. much more versatile in terms of pairing with diff straps and all to create a unique look.. mine's on a black nato strap.. :)
