How many of you own a TUNA ?

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:

Apart from the price, when I was there, the lady actually referred to the Golgo as a Grand Seiko.



Needless to say, that put me off.



I bought mine from Rakuten, total including shipping and GST around 13xx.

Re: How many of you own a TUNA ?
Just check with big time few days ago,they only have a black tuna(looks like sbbn013)..but it's a international model.Serial number not SBBN series.

Not sbbn serious? What's the difference?
Re: How many of you own a TUNA ?
Just a thought. You guys can check Big Time website as they list all their JDM prices. This for comparision purposes. To buy call them check for stocks. I was told that yiu can also order from them with deposite required.



This I feel is a good alternative to those who do no wish to buy online.



Happy hunting.

I think it may be the S23619J1.

No cheap in my book.
Re: How many of you own a TUNA ?
iirc should be slightly cheaper than a darth tuna.
Re: How many of you own a TUNA ?
Hi bro kkfa..you may be rite..coz I remember the serial number being something like that..the lady says its a international model and quote me around low $2xxx. price abit steep IMHO.

Cheers guys..

If you check big time website this one is about $240 cheaper than the 013 darth tuna. Like I said still not cheap in my book for an international model. Personally I would go for the Emperor himself and leave the rest in the sea. Thats just me. Cheers.
Re: How many of you own a TUNA ?
big time oos for sbbn017 which i prefer...need to place 50% deposit for them to order for me, lead time 1-3 months, no 100% promise can get...

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I think they are playing safe by saying no promise. Guess if the piece is about $1500 a 50% deposit is fair. No too much money in absolute terms so can leave it longer till you get the one u want. Good luck and hope u get your piece soon.



Btw just curious, do they accept cancellation of orders? I mean if you changed yiur mind while waiting. Cheers.
Re: How many of you own a TUNA ?
Hi to all tuna fans..my fisherman kaki just recce for me yodobashis and BIC stores in Tokyo..No signs of my fav tuna(sbbn017) anywhere.

But he managed to snag a black and red tuna( guess which one?) for my wife..



Well..'no fish,prawn also ok' for me...



At least one tuna caught..

Cheers

Well in their email to me, it was stated that refund is a no go during the waiting period, so if they promise a lead time of 1-3 months, i cannot cancel my order and get a refund during the 1-3 months waiting time. If they fail to deliver after that period of time i can cancel and get my money refunded.



Am not too comfortable with that as the variance is 2 months...

Yes, unless they can shorten the lead time. Else suddenly another one pops up during the wait, you know yours is also coming soon. Worst is after 3 months and they still can't get it? It's too late and you missed the boat....

Get what you guys' concerns. That is why I believe in fate. If u fated to have the piece u walk into shop will have. If u fated to have, no need to wait 3 months. So one way is to put deposit and not to look anymore. Just wait.



The other way is to go buy online which a lot of bros here seem to do. I personnally would like to handle the piece and deal with a brick and motar establishment. Old fashioned I guess.



Do update us on the latest in your quest. Happy hunting.
Re: How many of you own a TUNA ?
After liaising with internet merchants such as Higuchi, Chino and some Rakuten sellers, it seems no one can give a definite timeline on when SBBN015 is going to be back in stock.



I guess its the same story with Big Time. They are taking a big risk to commit to any sort of timeline.



I'm in the market looking for an SBBN015 too. Would be a great watch to alternate with my SBBN023, which has become a daily beater.

Hunting specifically for a 017 tuna, seems all the usual online sellers higuchi, chino, seiya, rakuten are all OOS. Only place i find stock online is from Taobao which i am very very wary of and also from superchrono at SLS, but their pricing is also SUPER high....USD 1,200
