Trying to buy a Seiko 1000m Emperor Tuna in the USA?

kurtj29 · Jul 26, 2024

I would love to pick up a new Emperor Tuna (or better if I could find a like - new SBDX014) Are there any dealers in the states - or is ShoppinginJapan.com the best place. I am still not comfortable buying on eBay - the watch pictures are horrible. Any advice?

Maybe try Sakura watches?
I've heard good things about them but it's out of stock. You can however email them. Not sure about the pricing though.

Well, I picked this up instead. Limited Edition Deep Sea style dial. Quartz. A significantly less expensive watch. But I like it. After searching the internet and looking into all the USA customs hassle of buying in Japan and shipping it over, this popped up at a Jeweler not more than 5 miles away. Got in my car at lunch and drove over and bought it in 10 minutes. Wow!

7c46 is actually a really nice movement. I am not a quartz lover per se, but I have a soft spot for a few Seiko quartz movements and it's definitely up there.
