    $1500-$2000 what am I missing? Is it a Tuna?

    I am 90% of the way to pulling the trigger on an SBBN015 next week.

    I wanted to have a more "iconic" piece, and am not put off by quartz.

    Based on my current mix (pictured below) is there something else the DWF would suggest before I pull the trigger?

    I think if you like the Tuna that much you should just buy it...theres 50 other watches in this range but most of them are apples to oranges vs the tuna because of the unique design of it

    a pre-owned UTS would be a good one to add, but a Tuna would be a great addition to any fan of that look.

    Up and coming would be a Korsbek Hydro...if you can stand to wait alittle. or even longer an Aeiger....

    Or commit a Sinn, I am thinking more and more of doing that myself!

    Get a U1 or UX, that's what you are missing most...

    Pull the trigger on that Tuna! It's an icon among Seiko nuts and dive watch fans. If there's something you don't like about it, then flip it -- that's the dive watch enthusiast way!

    And based on your current watch roster, you definitely need a Tuna in there. Good luck!

    If you are ready to take a plunge for a Tuna in the $2000 range, spend a little more and get the automatic SBDX011 Tuna.

    Or, hop on board for the iconic MM300.

    DOXA
    My friend had both Tuna and DOXA. Tuna was disappointing, DOXA blew me away. But then again, as stated, if you don't like the Tuna you can flip it. Or just follow Eric L's advice and get the MM300.

    Tuna is a must-have in any dive watch collection. Even the lowly 007 is a great specimen. I love mine. Such a unique and striking deaign.

    My suggestion: MM300, SBDX001

    Bought my second MM300 from Seiya and it is awesome.

    I'd be in for the SBDX011 if it had a bracelet and I wanted something bigger than the MM300.
