You need one with 1000m on it just in case you go snorkelling.
Scubapro 500 ( Nivada )

My 007 ,which has been round the forum a bit but always returns
2 300m Tuna's, I quite like them even they are rather large

That’s a very cool watch
These two for me. I bought the snarky sharkey as a cheap way to try the size and shape however it is a very good quality watch for the money. It no longer gets worn as I bought the Seiko soon after and it’s my favourite grab and go watch.
I do like S.Ls blue case version as well.
Edit... I tell a lie!
I forgot I also have the kinetic GMT tuna as my holiday watch
I obviously need to thin the collection if I can’t remember the watches I actually own! (Not a stealth sales post)

Love a bit of Tuna.

...older pic though...
The watch Seiko should have made (IMHO)
- Yobokies Stainless shroud
- Domed crystal (Tempus watch mods)
- Watch Gecko Bracelet
If only I could source a ceramic bezel insert...

Picked mine up on SC for a song.
Wondered why it took me so long to feel the Tuna love.

Had mine around 3 weeks and love it

Some stunners there. Tony’s photos really show them off.
I'd like a 'proper' Tuna (as in a monocoque case model) at some point, quite happy to make do with my SBBN031 until then though.

Just found another pic of the Scubapro in my old Imageshack account.

This is the best looking Tuna ever IMO
I love the hands on them, just don’t like the earlier minute hand the way the centre covers the hour hand.
I had one a couple of year ago and my Dad wanted it, it’s the only Watch I’ve really regretted letting go and I’ve sold plenty of older Seiko’s that are in irreplaceable condition now.
I won't be loved for this, but the Sharkey is a better watch
Valentine's Day mate, not April Fool's.
Sapphire crystal, NH35 movement, and a better bracelet. The 120 click bezel is excellent, and unlike Seiko, the Sharkey customer service is renowned. I am a retired retailer, and it's the norm for people to believe the original is always the best, but believe me, this isn't always the case. I also have the Sharkey Tuna, and that is excellent as well. Both watches are infinitely better than my Seiko SKX009. Despite owning three Seiko watches, and having owned many more, I don't believe they offer good value for money any more.

Does the Sharkey have any manufacturing iso rating? Would you trust it if you went diving with it? Do you know what metals are used to manufacture the case/bracelet?
If only Seiko had realised that they could have improved their watch simply by adding their own bottom-end movement...
It's spring, so, Spring Drive !
