the prices are similar to the yodabashi, but they have a lot more poison.. i mean range ;) :D

g-shock, preowned swiss, jdm, citizen, u name it, they should have it.



if u go around that area, also check out a very small watch shop next to kinokuniya, which is opposite Laox.

the shop is located in the small corridor on the left of kinokuniya. Once u walk into the corridor, the shop will be on your left (coz on the righthand side it kinokuniya).

i cant remember the watch name, but i found a few discon jdm models there.

worth to take a look, since u r at laox already... i hope the shop is still there.. :lol:

its normal bro.. my co also says the tuna is fugly. :(



but truth be told, the tuna is not really an elegant, fashionable watch.

it made specifically for a sole purpose: to be a working tool watch for professional divers...

I think in Japan, the default should be ENG/KAN. Not sure about those sold outside Japan. E.g. Golden Tuna.

SBBN007 original is s/s bezel. the black ones u see are the mod inserts (usually from a 6309 or skx007).



the SBBN015 was released to replace the SBBN007, and the SBBN015 was released in 2009.

i guess the SBBN007 was discontinued a short while before that... around 2008 perhaps?

hi bro, I prefer the Seiko quartz and latest is Seiko solar. I Just bought a Seiko solar diver watch on rubber strap at mustaffa center at no warranty lane for $195 only and with warranty is $250. I dont think the watch will break down within a year so I opt out the warranty and save some money.
