MY NEW TUNAS/SHROUDS/DIVERS

My new acquisitions including some 'grails':

AUTO TUNAS: SBDX005, 3 X 6159-7010 [m, non-m, m], SBDX011 (Emperor)

Closer look at my 3 6159-7010s (L-R: m, m, non-m)

SBDX005

SBDX011 EMPEROR

SBDX003

Baby Tunas - From 12 o'clock clockwise: SRP233-4R36 (LE), SBDC015 (LE), SRP231K1, SRP227K1, SBDC011 Fieldmaster, SBDC013 Fieldmaster, 4R36-00V0 [LE = Limited Edition]

Humble though this 4R37A Cyclops may be, I think it's very nice (came from an SCS member):

Cheers!!!

Love the collection... It's complete? I can't think of anything else missing from the auto tunas. Time for the quartz perhaps? Sbbn's?

Thanks for sharing. Great quality pictures too.

Re: MY NEW TUNAS/SHROUDS/DIVERS

Thanks, guys. Just waiting for another 'adult' (i.e. BIG) auto Tuna to be marketed... The babies are OK, but really pale in comparison to the big boys... The 6159s are my favourites - large but light and comfy.

The single tick per second of quartz watches is something I can't get used to. Having said that I have 3 Bulova Champlain Precisionists (steel, black and titanium) - arguably the most accurate watch on earth (c. -/+10 secs/year!) running at 262,144 Hertz - compared to the 4 Hertz of a 28,800 bph mechanical movement. The second hand moves c. 20 times per second and, thus, the sweep is incredibly smooth - smoother than any automatic watch I've come across. I bought all 3 in the US (2 on ebay) for between US$330 and US$480 all in - really good value for money. I tried sourcing them in Singapore but (this was a year ago) they weren't available. Since I bought the 'originals' new models have been released. Check them out.

Thanks for your compliments re my photo quality - you are too kind as they are, at best, amateurish. Cheers.

I was pursuing both at the same time, thinking that if one fell through, I'd still have one. But happily, it so happened that both negotiations were successful. :D

Hunting proactively landed you with 3 6159 but not in my case. So lady luck must be taking good care of u! Wear them in good health, my friend. Hope to see u in July when you are back here. ;)

Have just bought another (the final??) 2 baby tunas/sardines:

- SRP236K1 (Petrolnut)

- SRP234J (K1) (Creation Watches - before Petrolnut listed his..)

Probably have 2 duplicates (twins!) of the above from Mr Goh, too.

Collecting these babies in June and shall then post photos later. :D
