Man that original strap sure is long! So I removed the NOS long strap to be put away for safe keeping, I am going to wear this thing and don't want to wear it on a 31 year old strap. I installed the titanium nitride plated buckle on a new straight vent strap. She is now ready for wrist time.

Hi guys. New guy question here. I've been considering buying a tuna since I saw the solar tuna SBDN023/028 in a shop a few weeks ago. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it wears even though the dimensions were a concern for me. The thinness of it was actually a very good surpirse. The build quality seemed nice overall but I wasn't convinced by the plastic shroud and the thick bezel, especially considering the price and the fact that it is quartz.
I was in Osaka yesterday so I went to see 2 "real" tunas SBBN033 and SBBN035. They're obviously much nicer and I was totally impressed... until I used the bezel. That is by far the worst bezel action I've ever seen (and I own cheap Seikos). They were display watches and I understand that they've been handled by countless careless customers but still, the bezel on the 033 was very stiff from 12 o'clock to 9 and 6 to 3 but loose from 9 to 6 and 3 to 12. And the one on the 035 was even worse, no longer 120 clicks, more like 97, sometimes jumping 2 or 3 clicks in one go. So my question (finally): have you guys had that problem on any of yours of do you think those have just been brutalized beyond belief (although the case and crystal were pristine)?
I really want one but this gave me cold feet. The price tag was very appealing but I still don't want to pay that much for a dive watch with a bezel that stops working after a few weeks.
Thanks for your imput guys.
