Wow. I just checked their website and the T2-TYPHOON looks awesome too. Thanks for sharing Dan.

My pleasure.

Jake makes some great watches.
Or, if you're like me, enough parts to keep a modder busy with endless possibilities.

Just had the pleasure of visiting the seiko boutique in NYC and thought I would share a couple wrist shots!








Id be lying if I said I knew a lot about the references but the black dial gmt is a spring drive. Finishing in case and dial was good as I've heard. Reminded me of a Rolex, done by AP...in a good way.

Boutique is very small and next door to tourneau on Madison. I was informed that they received allocations for two credor upon opening, one being a minute repeater, and both were immediately sold to clients in Japan.

Other than that...staff was friendly and the watches look great. They were pushing boutique exclusive references hard but had sold out of the green dial reference beloved by Ben clymer.

My titanium Darth Tuna arrived yesterday. I replaced the stock rubber with my isofrane. I've got an orange Isofrane for the upcoming Fall.

i always connect a watch purchase to a 'honey, i need a new saddle for mr.fleabag'.......to which i say 'oh, perfect timing, we have just enough spare capital currently to adorn 'mr fleabag' with still yet another bit of portuguese leather and myself with a new timekeeper which keeps me going to work on time!'


ps my first real watch was a seiko like dan has....got it in 73' isn....lost it hang gliding....

I don't, but as an extremely satisfied owner of two other Seikos, I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed with that one.

Seiko Gen 1 RAF Chronograph military issue watch which my late father left me. He was an Air Electronics Officer on the Avro Vulcan. If someone can tell me why it posts the picture upside down it would be appreciated.

Thank you for your kind comments, it's a watch that will never leave me no matter what.

Attached is a shot of a painting showing the Vulcan flying over Lincoln cathedral which has been signed by all of the crew.

How would you rate the SBBN013 overall?

I thought long and hard about it but the ceramic shroud scared me off. I got the SBBN015 instead (in the mail) and am thinking it may be a next purchase if I like Tunas... My incoming will be my first.

So I ended up letting go of both my tunas, mainly because I just had too many watches and decided that I needed to shrink the inventory into a couple of very nice watches and one or two 'beaters'. The SBBN013 is a much better built watch. I was quite surprised at how much better the build quality was. The regular SS tuna is no slouch, but the darth tuna is on another level.

I probably would have kept the Darth, but it's larger than the standard tuna, which meant it was too large for my wrist. I was worried about that going in, but the only way for me to really find out was to try it out. The standard Tuna is a great watch IMO - one of those and a nice monster would make for a great pair. With the Darth, you need a wrist that's at least 7.25" - mine is closer to 7" and I felt like I was pushing the limits of the watch looking.....appropriate. I would not buy the automatic version as it's even larger than the Darth - and quite a bit thicker too. The standard SS tuna looked fine on my wrist.

I still have two monsters (orange and bloody), and I won't let either of them go. They're awesome watches for the $$$. If you don't have one, it's a great model to start with.

Thanks. The sbbn015 will be that daily work watch as do tens to abuse them.
Walk away from it during the weekend and it's ready.

I'm still heavily considering the sbdx012 but need live picture to see if the gold beats out the sbdx001 (which I owned and regretfully sold). I know I could technically do this with pictures of the sbdx003 but something tells me this one may be a little more refined in its gold plate.
