Ivan, he was asking for a tuna for cheap and you're offering him your top end fishes. Hence sadistic. :)



In that note, I finally bit the sashimi and picked up a Tuna.

Re: How many of you own a TUNA ?
I think the majority of active members here own at least a tuna. Tuna is probably a must have for Seiko watch collectors.

Ya Emperor. Found a good deal off SG-ROC and there was some wiggle room then met the seller last night. Even got an Isofrane in the deal. Nice guy.



Phonecam has a wide angle lens so the watch looks a LOT larger than it actually is. In this photo it really looks damn overpowering.

Your wrist looks big. Doesn't the lug-to-lug feel too close and pinches the wrist? That was my beef with this watch and my sbdx005. Pity, really loved the looks.

EXACTLY!! But my wrist is smallish... just 6.5" still feels the pinch slightly. Wears like a Puck. :p Maybe I'll try a NATO strap.

Then you got to come to one of our gatherings! Badern is VERY sporting and brings his tunas for an outing each time. There's a lot to learn from him.
Re: How many of you own a TUNA ?
I luuuurve the black tuna. Its way cool man. is it sbbn0011 or sbbn0013??



I so envy bro Badern.



Just hope to own one in due time. :)
Re: How many of you own a TUNA ?
Reading this thread made me look up on the Tunas on the web. Real nice watches with abig presence. But I am curious as I don't seem to be able to confirm what is the material used for the shroud for the Emperor himself SBDX011.

I found a list showing all the specs for shrouded Tunas which said that the shroud was ceramic. But some posts say it is Titanium with a ceramic coating, some say with Ti with PVD like hard coating.

Can the Tuna Gurus here clear my confusion?

Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Does anyone has a comparison photo for the SBBN013 and the SBDX011.

For me the issue with sbdx011 wasn't the size - it's the balance, and the comfort I had to give up to achieve the balance on my wrist. If you've largish wrists, the relatively close lugs and the inability of the straps to flare out (because of the shroud) may reduce either the comfort or balance on the wrist. This watch is fussy on wrist size and strap choice :mad:



If you expect good ergonomics regardless of wrist size, given the price, then you might be disappointed. It's not universally a good fit for all.



I personally find sbbn's and the vintage 7549's overall more pleasant to wear.







The following photo shows the maximum flare of the straps on a 7549:

Re: How many of you own a TUNA ?
Tough choice between the SBBN023 and SBBN015... Pulled the trigger on the 23.



Was very worried that the Tuna will be too big as I only have 6.25inch wrist. Fortunately it fit just nice.





Under cheapo UV torch.



Now to charge up enough vitamin M before getting in line for the SBBN015 :mrgreen:
