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.

Yes, this a nice one..a friend of mine (who quietly monitoring this forum) has one

Try on his and love it even though it's quartz... the second hand hit every minutes marker accurately

Love it on bracelet... still waiting when he want to sell me cheap cheap

tuna design is unique... seiko special!
the 1000m also got quartz n automatic... both pvd.... some mixed with gold... it call gold tuna!
the auto one now is under propex line... price is scaring me away... or else i would like to have a tuna also

takashi78 · « **Reply #4 on:** February 03, 2010, 02:51:14 PM »

Wow if the price can scare Chris away then no hope for me to buy liao haha...
This is a watch i dont mind to buy even if quartz...looks too good...
If anyone knows where to get or someone letting go pls tell me haha....

BTW i am going down to SG next week....any chance SG have?

Scott C. · « **Reply #5 on:** February 03, 2010, 03:47:51 PM »

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...

hi ck ,

spotted this watch when one of my service company's guy wearing this watch recently . really striking from far . fall in love immediately with it . manage to borrow from him and view from near . really solid and try to put on it . feel just nice in my hand.ask for the price and is quite affordable compare to others.i am thinking of getting one already.

Haha orange monster fever getting to another now

ck77 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 04, 2010, 06:30:51 AM »

Yea Eric, you will never go wrong with this monster, no matter black or orange. Price vs quality ratio is superb

terrenceterrence · « **Reply #11 on:** February 04, 2010, 06:52:21 AM »

guess this thread is veering towards the OM

good luck in your hunt for the giant Tuna, bro.

Don't forget the customary wrist shots on a successful hunting trip!!!!

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?

ivanswk · « **Reply #16 on:** February 06, 2010, 12:16:13 PM »

i stalking your sinn and pam .. better buy insurance

bring back during cny

anyway did u see any orange strap in singapore ? to go with the OM

terrenceterrence · « **Reply #17 on:** February 06, 2010, 01:06:11 PM »

try googling gnomonwatches they have the orange nato for SGD 15.

if you want it i can get it for you.

sshark · « **Reply #18 on:** February 06, 2010, 02:45:40 PM »

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 .

Thanks...

Picture borrow...
