My new arrival...

I have owned several Tunas (and Seiko's) but this is the one I like the best (015 VERY close behind)...I have always admired the 1000m quartz tuna for its no nonsense engineering, but I never liked the extra large minute hand on my 013 and is the ONLY reason I sold it...

This for me is just perfect. Whenever I look at this watch I smile and think that Seiko engineers must have taken the letter of complaint from Saturation diver in Kure City much too seriously...I have yet to own a more serious dive watch and am really proud to call this one my own. Thanks for looking ...

Thanks for replies ...yes it's chunky but surprisingly comfortable due to Ti+Zirconia construction...

I love the frontal view . The tuna can look, not so much. Just my opinion, though. If you like it, that's all that counts.

Thanks. I would rephrase a bit and say 'Seiko is one great watch' cos I've had more expensive watches and I still have more faith in this one when a few metres under the sea ...
