Re: Tuna &
Not necessary to buy new. There are mint condition preowned ones appearing quite often on watch forums if you feel like saving a few hundred bucks. Good luck.

Re: Tuna &
If it were me, I would get the Spring Drive tuna instead as I wana try a SD watch. But of course, it will be more expensive.

Re: Tuna &
Get a preowned emperor.. Damage will be lower unless it is meant for keeper..

Start slow.. Slowly moving up the level.. so many tunas to play with..

Re: Tuna &
I think can get used emperor tuna for a bit below 3k? 2.5 to 2.8k?



But would rather pay a bit more for the spring drive tuna...

Re: Tuna &
I have seen some tunas on the net going for difference of 100

One has the word marinemaster, and the other without the wordings

One has a luminous mini ring on the outer 12, 6 & 9 indicators hence

my confusion.

Anyone got an explanation on the difference?

Re: Tuna &
Buying new - give you feeling of a virgin watch. More expensive.

Buying used - somehow you think she's been used and been manhandled by another. Save at least a little usually.



Buying the emperor after the quartz, there is a big heft difference. Especially between the 300m and the 1000M. Less so between the 1000m quartz vs auto.



The Emperor is like an all DLC watch but the historical or a 6159 adds that little bit of SS to the watch IMO.



End of the day, if you have a chance to try it first, that's the best. And always buy what you like not what others like or what they say has best resale. ;)

There is an aftermarket one currently only 22mm with Aluminium Bronze, Brushed and Polished. Not cheap but decent workmanship. All 22mm only. Here are some pics of the Alu.



















Fits only Iso type straps. So if you don't have one, I'd not recommend it.
