Not exactly a grail piece, but it gets me started in the tuna collecting hobby. Thanks bro ivan for the advice to get SBBN015. Haha..

It is a good advice because SBBN015 is "small" enough for office wear. My sleeve collar is not tailored for huge tunas yet. :lol:

A bit tough if watch is in good condition. Slightly beaten up may be possible. Try to get a used SBBN007...nice watch at nice price.

Been looking around but can't find one in other forums. So sad. My budget only about $500 - $600/-. SBBN007 is good enough for me
