What Took Me So Long???

Post by DEMO » Thu Oct 11, 2012 12:24 pm

So some of you sharp guys might have noticed I posted a Tuna SBBN015 MarineMaster in some WRUW threads. Well a while back I finally decided to check one out and ordered from Higuchi. Holy crap this thing is cool. I never thought I liked the "Tuna" styled case design, especially after trying two different Pucks from Halios. But I really like the 015. Size is perfect and the new bracelet that they come on is pretty sweet. The simple, classic Tuna dial with domed crystal is total eye-candy too. Plus, with all of my automatic watches, the quartz movement is a simple grab & go deal with this one.

Like I said, what took me so long. :shrug: I don't know, but I'm glad I have one in the collection now.

Sorry guys, all I have is a few wrist shots in different lighting for now. :grin:

Cheers,

Dave

Looks sweet on that bracelet for some reason...maybe most are on rubber/zulu. :scratch:

Those are sweet for sure. :cheers:

I still want one of these. Perfect on an Isofrane.

Awesome one... is this the 48mm case? May I ask what's you wrist size... I've always felt the 48 is too big but it looks mighty dandy in your wrist shots...

Man, the seiko forum is getting some action. The Tuna is 47 or 48mm but really wears like a 42 or 43. The short lugs and light weight make it really comfortable for just about any wrist size. Here's one I had on my 6.75" wrists.

That Tuna looks great on your wrist Matt... have similar wrists and those pics really open my mind to a possible Tuna in my future..

I'm liking the look of this.
I don't know why. I haven't really been fond of the Tunas but I like the way it looks on that new bracelet.

Nice pick up Demo and thanks for the great pics

Congrats Dave :thumbsup:

Even though I own three 1000m Tuna's I really like the 015. IMO it's the best looking Tuna and I will have to add one to my humble collection.

I'm really looking forward to some of your awesome "staged" shots :headbang:

BTW..yobokies makes a beautiful AR sapphire if you ever decide to swap out the hardlex.


Cheers
