First thing you notice about this unique beast is the shrouded case. Specifically on this model its brushed and new for this version of the tuna is hex screws holding the shroud to the case. Previous models were philips and the shroud was bead blasted. I'm personally bead blasted out so to me the brushed was another plus. I'll prolly never take the shroud off anyway but I still like the look of the hex.
The crystal is domed hardlex. Pretty nice-wish it were sapphire but for about $100 I can buy one from Harold and have Jay at MCWW pound it on. I may do that.
The watch wears very well for its size. Its not particularily heavy for what it is. Quartz watches may be lighter than autos for all I know as this is only the 2nd quartz I've owned next to the TSAR.

Now for one of my favorite parts of the tuna: the bracelet.
This bracelet is the best one from Seiko I've seen to date. I've had jubilee, president, MM300, oyster etc. This one does not rattle like the others. It has perfect endlink fitment-even though the lugs are straight. Links fit fairly tight to each other. The center links are raised over the side ones very much like a Marathon bracelet. It tapers down to 18mm at the clasp. The clasp is a mix of Ti and Steel and has the divers on the fly adjustment like the MM300. It works nearly flawlessly for micro adjustments on the fly.
comparison to my Tsunami with 22mm non tapering bracelet
Lume is nuclear. Best I've seen. Easily legible throughout the night.
Overall I like the watch a lot. It could be an everyday wearer even though its listed specs might suggest otherwise. Its a unique and fun watch to have in the box.
