Seiko SBBN017????

[afc14284]

So folks.. Kinda hijacking Paul's (deepcdvr) earlier thread about wanting to spend some $$ I found myself opening this link:

http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/prem ... m/sbbn017/

I find myself thinking that at $623, I think I have never seen a Tuna at this price.. Is their a catch or is it simply a great chance to get this baby??

If it is an opportunity to be taken now the only concern that remains is the size, my wrists are 7" and I don't know if I could pull it off, anyone with 7" wrists have any prior experience with Tunas? Pics would be helpful of course

Bro a tuna wears super small honestly and looks great on anything down to 6.5 in wrist size because of the super short lugs.

a tuna fits small. it has basically nub lugs. i wore mine yesterday on bracelet and my speed master wears bigger, no joke. its just taller. i can handle tall watches because i wear pajamas to work.

at that price Ricardo you cannot beat a tuna.
and if you wanna sell it... you can make you're money back, and maybe some more after the yen goes back up.


WIN/WIN

.....it fits small. it is basically like a nub. Everyone else's wears bigger, no joke. i wear pajamas to work, with my wife's lingerie underneath.

Awesome pictures folks.... I'm seriously considering purchasing this but must sacrifice something from the collection

tuna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BSears]

All this tuna talk is going to have me wearing mine tomorrow on bracelet.

[T.R.]

Just wore mine for three days straight. If you are dive watch nut and you have never sported a Tuna, it seems now is your time. It wasn't that long ago that the quartz version was selling at $800.

GET IT NOW!

It might be short lug to lug, but I've never once seen a picture of a Tuna that didn't make it look like a big watch. It looks like a big watch on a 6.5 inch wrist, and it still looks like a big watch on a 7.5 inch wrist.

[Torrid]

I don't think our wrist close ups are helping. It wears very similar to a SKX007 and is only slightly thicker.

[jswing]

I don't like big watches, but yet I still want a Tuna.

That's a definite possibility. My 42mm PO looked absolutely huge when I snapped a wrist shot. It's big, but not enormous.

I had always thought the same, until I saw one in person. It is remarkably wearable and doesn't seem too big. I really was surprised at how much different it appears in the flesh.

That's good, because it isn't a big watch.

[BSears]

Nice perspective shots

[CoachH]

Nice perspective shots

Agreed, thanks Torrid.

[matt.wu]

When I received my first, my initial impression was also that it was much smaller than I expected.

[vintageguy]

my wrist is 6.75" & flat. BTW, Tuna & shark mesh were born for each other.
