Re: How many of you own a TUNA ?

I'd thought about Tunas before and kept wondering what I was missing; it just didn't speak to me. I had discussed the matter with some bros here and I was assured that I'd feel different once I put one on... and I must say that I had borrowed one off a fellow member's wrist for a minute and at the end of that... can't say I felt any different. In fact what I said to the bro was that, "it wears like a Casio G-Shock". And then he laughed and agreed with me. Hahaha!

However...

After having viewed all the different collections from the bros on this forum.. I must say that there is a tiny, little bit of poison seeping into my system... The only thing keeping me safe is the fact that I am carefully restricting myself to automatics and the auto Tuna is well beyond what I'm prepared to put down for a Seiko at this time. Emphasis is on, "at this time".

So the Tuna is joining my list of watches that I'd want to collect... but it's still behind the MM300, among others. It has been a real eyeopener and I'm looking forward to getting more poison from more of the bros here!

Would anyone be bringing their Tunas for a show and tell during the upcoming gathering?

Thanks bro! Still on the look out at forums for opportunity to acquire collectible tunas.[/quote]

Here´s my mod : 7549-7010 with cal. 6309 and aftermarket bezel insert and dial. 2 or 3 years ago I had the chance to buy this NOS case from a Seiko dealer. I´d like to mod another one, but can´t find no case.

Re: How many of you own a TUNA ?

Do we call Tuna for any Seiko watch with a shroud or only Seiko Diver with a shroud?

Sorry for a basic question.

Hi Lunarin79. This video on YouTube may interest you. Its a demo for removing scrathes on watch crystals. The same guy apparently sells a kit on eBay. I'm considering it myself. I replaced my Seiko H558-5000 with an OEM part, but I kept the original and I'm thinking of polishing it.

Transforms the whole watch imho. But wait, my postman brought another parcel today:

It is a good advice because SBBN015 is "small" enough for office wear. My sleeve collar is not tailored for huge tunas yet. :lol:

A bit tough if watch is in good condition. Slightly beaten up may be possible. Try to get a used SBBN007...nice watch at nice price.
