I joined the Tuna class this week. The bracelet is fine, but I like it on a NATO as well:

Correct. To ask the question, is to know the answer. 😎

What sort of price are you looking at?
Starbuy.com.au currently have it at AU$599 shipped but have daily and weekend sales.
https://www.starbuy.com.au/seiko-prospex-tuna-automatic-divers-200m-mens-watch-srpe29k-srpe29k1
It was on offer for $499 earlier this month.
From an email on 6th Nov:

Always worth an email to Deepak to see if he can re-run that offer. Generally works by using the model number as the discount code once he sets it up. I know he set up a deal for 10x green Sumo's earlier today at the request of someone on another forum I use.

I've bought the PADI Turtle for $325 and SNE543J Solar 'Tuna" for $299 from them on deals.

Anyone see this yet? It’s technically a men’s watch I think it’s 38.5mm case. They have a pinkish version as well same size. Limited to 5,000. I do kind of like it.

That's an interesting one. Are the hands really black, or is it just the photo? Got a link?

that's the same watch I had. My dad bought it in Japan, gave it to me on my 14th birthday, and I wore it every day for 20 years. That watch worked in the engine compartment of an MGB, travelled all of Europe, skied, I wore it everywhere. Mine was on a bracelet. It was sent to NY at least three times for full service, it would come back with a new crystal but the watch was never polished, and it showed. The clasp failed due to s stress crack that had gone unnoticed, and the impact against the sidewalk finally did her in.

Great story with a sad ending, thanks for sharing 😉

Here you have my latest addition, a Seiko 6105-8110 from march 1975 😉

The light was just right this afternoon inside my rolling soft box 😀

My 6159-7000 from March ‘68 on a chocolate bar strap from William Jean.

what did I say 2 years ago? Great condition 65-72 Seikos. Esp the classics are a great investment.

Vintage Seiko's are certainly racing up the price charts. As always the top condition watches are fetching great prices.

One can only imagine what an earlier NOS 6105-8110/9 Proof/Proof would fetch if they are out there!
