I'm now suffering from a case of Tuna lust, great thread!
Making me want to swap out the bezel in my tuna for a black one. Anyone know a good source to get a black bezel and how hard or easy it is to change?
Many thanks
Cavham
Just been through this thread again & despite selling my tuna as didn't feel it suited me, I have the urge for another.
I know from posts over the years that I am not alone how does this forum, or love if watches create this level of retrial?
Black bezel looks great on them.
It came notched. I got it in a trade. It was already notched. Mine was pretty much unworn. The strap is the best I've ever come across and I've had dozens. The buckle takes some getting used to. The annoying thing is you cannot fit the strap through the buckle while on your wrist. You have to put the watch on with the strap slightly fed through, so if you are going to order one make sure you buy it long enough.
They are a lot of money new but easily the best strap for a Tuna, I cannot see me using the bracelet or anything else again!
I really love the looks and the specs of the Tuna, but I don't see myself getting one, due to their huge size. Recently I tried the new baby tuna and it was really nice, but still I prefer the dots on the dial of the original design Tunas.
Here is mine it a 7549-7009 golden Tuna. Does anyone know how to date them? The serial number is 850288.
Cheers
I use Google to date them (other search engines are available) ;-)

Gray
Could be an early May 1978
I'd think it would be one of the 1st 600m 7549's

Well just ordered an 017 to try a slightly different option,outside of creation, supply was pretty limited.
Now currently trying to decide which bracelet & where to get one from.
Thinking strapcode engineer but unsure on blasted or brushed, let alone which clasp for it!
@S.L.; White dolphin..., beautifull Tuna. Very rare thing...
Here is my loved "Bleu ocean"

Not showing them off in their best light with these pictures, but here are mine..
Will take some better shots when they come back from service.
