Title: Sudden urge for this Seiko diver
Post by: takashi78 on February 03, 2010, 12:40:19 PM
The only Seiko diver i want more than the orange monster is this....i believe its called the tuna can?
This is the 300m version which i think is more than enough for me.
I know there is a 1000m ver if i remember correctly which is in the Prospex lineup.
Anyone members have this in their collection?
Cant seem to locate it in any shops new or used...not even the flea markets.

I think chris mentioned is the propex not this tuna ;)

if I'm not mistaken this model still can get online from one of the famous japnanes online watch shop... Search around you should find it, I think the price is between RM1200 to RM2000 depend if you take rubber strap or bracelet... I can be wrong on the pricing because did my search sometimes back...

hey ivan welcome!!

yeah red, blue and yellow Monsters are thailand only Limited edition models.

you can always get after market dials from yobokies and 10watches.com to mod your own Monsters to your prefered colour schemes.

the closest would be Sumos or Samurais i guess.

Think i've seen yellow Sumos before and there's a blue Samurai. anyone can confirm the colours?

You have 2 choices of rings. The cross sections are either flat or round. The "round" ring comes with thicker strap which I prefer

Guys , I went to my regular watchshop to browse for OM then spotted this one . So now I can't make up my mind . Quite like this one also but wanna ask you guys opinion first.You guy think should I get the OM or this or is there any other choice?   ???   Price is slightly cheaper than OM. Looked for the tuna can also but cannot find it .  :(

Peter, I saw a Ti Eco Zilla, at the shop where hush got the SUMO. And the Ecozilla is an all time favourite. I am waiting for some strap adapters to mount some other rubber/silicone.

Post by: takashi78 on February 27, 2010, 01:45:26 PM
I just came back from that shop as well, the boss had a new shipment of Sumo but only showed me the blue one.
Price went up by rm100 plus! say due to exchange rate.

Tried on the ecozilla, very special looking watch.
But this watch is the hardest to take off out of all the watches i tried on all these years!
Dunno if its due to the buckle design or not.
