Where can i buy a tinanium Sumo?

received a used sumo blue recently, but not really feeling it. been wanting this for ages but when it finally arrived i just feel like it's not substantial enough. i think it might also be partly due to the mm300 i recently acquired.
anyone else feels the same way?

bro andylau said it right... both sumo and mm300 different.
if you look at the technical dimensions, both have the same case size, yet they wear and look very different:
- Sumo: 45mm
- MM300: 44mm
Everything about the MM300 is all very well executed, as many have written - the hands, the dial, the bezel, the case. I have no issue with the bracelet, i find it quite comfortable on my 6.25" wrist. but I do wish the clasp construction was better. I like the ratcheting system, but the material of the clasps is quite dull (SS/Ti??) and it scrathes very easily.
To me the MM300 is a tool watch... yes it is very shiny and blingy, but slap on an isofrane, rubber strap and/or zulu/nato strap and you will know what i mean.
Whereas, the sumo is more dressy for me. The sumo is a longer watch, with its curved down lugs. The "largeness" (if there is such a word) is enhanced by the fat bezel and large font (its either u like it or u dont), which is not quite a traditional diver design.
The case, is very well made and cleverly designed. If you take a look at the side profile, you will notice that the bezel is just as thick as it is wide. If this was slapped on top of the watch like any other 3-piece design dive watch, the sumo will be much taller than the MM300.
So what did Seiko do? They made the bezel recess into the case where the edge of the case covers the sides of the bezel (a semi shroud perhaps?). The sumo still kept its huge presence, but it fits under the cuff of your long sleeve shirt.
If you ever want to pop off the bezel it is very easy. Turn the bezel so the lume pip is pointing at 9. then at the 12 position, you will notice a small notch where the bezel meets the case. This is where you can insert your caseback knife and "pop" off the bezel.
The sloping lugs also gives a better fit on smaller wrist.
Here you can see a pic i took of the sumo case design.

After a few weeks of watch hunting, still can't find a watch that i like.
Until i came to this forum and found sumo.
Considering whether to get for the past few days, finally today went down to Big Time to make my purchase.
Love at 1st sight. But was unable to decide black or blue, as both aso very swee!
In the end get black. lol.
Anyway, is the watch looks too big for my small hand?
Also, was told by Big Time that any issue with watch i will need to bring it to them so they will help me send to Japan for servicing.
Is it true for u guys too?
