I really want to see what comes out of the next tsunami's! Isn't the lug size on the 6105 case 20mm? If so will it be modded to 22mm instead? 20mm seems smaller than I'd prefer :/

I somehow think 20 mm is what Jake will go with. Most of the traditional Seikos were 19mm, including the 6105. Even today most of their high end watches are 20mm like the sumo and the 300 mm. Even the Spork is 20 mm. So if this to be a tribute watch to the Seiko 6105 then I'd bet it will be 20 mm.

My Tsunami came in today:



That dial will blind ya! Put it on the iso as I didn't feel like adjusting the bracelet yet.. remember guys.. loctite those bracelet screws. I love the watch.. Jake's the man. More pics soon.

I had a screw back out. I took the whole bracelet apart and loctited everything. Definitely make sure to follow this advice. I just ordered another Bonetto Cinturini 285 which looks like a hybrid between a Seiko flat wave and the later wave strap made out of Italian rubber. Nothing says summer like a diver on a rubber strap.

The Monster bracelet might be an option if you want it to wear bigger.

yup, the T2 will be 20mm instead of 19mm because it's too difficult to source 19mm straps and bracelets

I think I had a bit of dementia again. I was going through the OFFICIAL Tsunami thread and Jake states it there himself.

I missed your listing for this on the sales forum by about half hour.......bummer. I have been trying to get my hands on a silver sunburst for some time now and you chose every option that I would have except I would have chosen the classic case finish and not satin, but that really wouldn't have mattered to me. Oh well congrats to the lucky son of a gun that will be sporting this piece!!!

Use the blue Loctite, not red. Blue is enough to keep it secure, but not a PITA to get out if you have to adjust later. The red is very difficult to unlock with a tiny screwdriver.
