How many of you own a TUNA ?

[Tsubame]

After liaising with internet merchants such as Higuchi, Chino and some Rakuten sellers, it seems no one can give a definite timeline on when SBBN015 is going to be back in stock.

I guess its the same story with Big Time. They are taking a big risk to commit to any sort of timeline.

I'm in the market looking for an SBBN015 too. Would be a great watch to alternate with my SBBN023, which has become a daily beater.

Hunting specifically for a 017 tuna, seems all the usual online sellers higuchi, chino, seiya, rakuten are all OOS. Only place i find stock online is from Taobao which i am very very wary of and also from superchrono at SLS, but their pricing is also SUPER high....USD 1,200

Yup... The two main models (15 and 17) are both OOS.

BUT... There is a glimmer of hope if you are willing to take it.

I dun know abt TS.
But ah goh is as reliable as you can get locally.

Also, you can always drop by to see the progress of your watch.
Also, can socialize.
Also, can buy more watches.
Also..... many also.....

Do consider this option.

Wow this piece limited and very nice so cannot consider to be prawn Mr. Caveman. Many will likely consider this a rare fish even more so than the 017.
Iirc it is also more pricy.
Congrats on the capture.

[Solanum88]

Ahh the 023... do handle the ion plated case with care

[balzebub71]

How muchie was the 023?

[Caveman]

Bro Kkfa- U are right..the 023 is suppose to be 'more limited' and rare compared to 017..But my friend couldn't find a 017..instead a 023 popped up..

The 023 cost around sin$12xx after conversion..subjected to final bill on my friend's credit card..

But guess what?? My 017 costs almost as much as the 023..I just pay pal to Katsu US$820 for my 017..

On a side note..Is there a after market Matt black shroud for the 023? Coz it's glossy and actually I prefer it Matt. Maybe yobokies may have it..

Cheers to all.. Me still dunno how to post pics..hehe

[balzebub71]

Managed to get the 023 as well today..

[Caveman]

Bro balzebub71..congrats to us both..mine is approx $11xx after conversion..but still gotta wait for my friend's credit card bill.
Bro kkfa- think my 017 is gonna cost almost as much as my 023..just pay pal USD820 to Katsu (higuchi)

Does anyone know whether can I get a Matt black shroud for 023? Coz I sorta prefer a Matt black shroud over the original glossy one.maybe yobokies have it?

Sorry guys..Still haven't figure out how to post pics..

Cheers!!

[KKFA]

Wow two rare fishes. Congrats but be careful with the shroud. It has been shown to be quite easily damaged through wear. In any case, great catches.
Was the fush bot locally?

[balzebub71]

Wah all of u making me scared to wear my 023 for fear of scratching the ip coating...

No lah buy must wear. The watch is only truely yours when worn. Just wrap with bubble wrap hahaha.. wear it in good health !

[Tsubame]

Nice to see the Golgo family getting larger!

I am wearing the Golgo daily, but quite worried about the shroud too, and I'm trying to order an extra. Anyone knows the part number?

[Solanum88]

haha the shroud isnt the problem, its the caseback.

[balzebub71]

Yah I saw on yeoman's blog case back coating dropping off, but ok la, can't be seen...must wear la, tuna is supposed to be a tool watch....so how many Golgos here? My only comment about this watch is it wears a lot smaller on my wrist than I expected...
