Very nice auto!

I heard there are ways to transplant an auto heart into quartz tuna... Can that be done for sbbn015?

Visiting japan mid December... Wonder if can find any good deal :)

Movt mods and swap for tunas are normally between the vintage 7549 300m tuna and 6309 divers. The 7549 quartz and 6309 movts are direct swaps ie ucan take the dial and movt of the 6309 and put in a 7549 300m tuna case and vice versa.

I have yet to come across a mod using the current 300m tuna case that uses 7C46 quartz.

I have also asked a watch modder if its possible to fit in any other movt into a 6159 tuna case - not possible.

Appreciate the insights! :)

In addition, is there any 3-click spring ring that can fit the 015 under the bezel?

I popped the bezel and noticed 2 flimsy spring clicks, while the puck on the other hand has 3 clicks, and they are mounted in a similar way...

Just curious as personally I like tighter action :)

thinking of getting this from strapecode to welcome my golgo tuna back later this month
http://www.strapcode.com/store/215mm-su ... qEtPeK3BSg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It states that it's for the seiko tuna and that it's 21.5mm, i presume it will fit all 300m tunas?
Anyone got experience with this?

As long as you have a Tuna, you're not left out.

So out with it then!

Nice piece. Non-M dial. Try not to use nato or zulu on this gem. It will dig into the titanium case and leave 2 straight marks on the case back.
