OFFICIAL: Tsunami thread.

[gman54]

5 days and I'll get to wear my new Tsunami and I'll break it in at Baloy Beach Subic Bay for an entire month! :-D

Cheers, GMAN54

A huge thank you to Jake for allowing me to meet him in HK to pick up my new orange dial Tsunami and for showing me some very nice watch shops. Jake is such a personable man that I felt like old long time friends. I returned to Subic Bay Philippines and immediately replaced the bracelet with a black Maratac zulu. What a super comfortable and great looking watch! I'll post pictures of the Tsunami soon.

I can't wait to return to HK and search the watch shops... and pick up my next purchase from Jake.

Cheers, gary (gman54)

I heard it was a good time (in spite of Jake's condition that morning ). Congrats on the new T

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.

Yep, that's what I used. Blue works just fine. I was surprised to see the recommendation on the box to use red.

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!!!

Wow defendnola, that was fast! The definition of catch and release.

Ya and it wasn't easy to do at all. I'm hell bent on a mm300, and without selling all my watches.. and my old laptop.. and my isofrane and blah blah (everything I own).. I won't be able to afford it. If it turns out I don't like the mm300, I'll be back to the forums looking for a Tsunami.. or holding out for the T2. I have problems.

Nugget: sorry bro I wish I had two so I could hook you up!

I want an MM300 as well. Real bad. Even more than I want a quartz tuna. The Tsunami is the first watch that I've felt there isn't a chance in hell I would ever flip. No matter how close I finally get to the MM300 I will wait over selling the Tsunami. I actually sold everything else including the Monster to prepare for the next. I think if I skip the Tuna and go for the MM300 it may very well be the last watch I ever buy and will be accompanied by my Tsunami.

I have a UDT incoming (4 weeks approx!! Can't wait!), and this raises a couple of questions for me, if the thread will allow for them:

- What wrist size does the bracelet fit with all links?
- is loctite recommended only on links removed if you size the watch, or is it recommended for all the links as a precaution?
- Is there a tutorial on process for this? Tried a search (http://forums.watchuseek.com/search....archid=5486982) but couldn't find one.

Thanks guys......will post pics when mine arrives.

ps. Is there a generic Tsunami signature badge? Some cool ones in this thread!

I mean the MM300 is always available, your configuration on the Tsunami, one of a kind, or at least uncommon. I know you made the decision with a heavy heart defendnola.

i have an 8.25" wrist and i wear mine with all the links in and the micro set to the furthest inside hole you can use (2 are useless as they're covered by the extension). the LocTite is only needed if you remove a link and need to screw the pin back in, otherwise you should be good to go (i haven't had an issue with my two bracelets)

here's a link to the Tsunami sig sharkfinDave created way back when- CASEBACK ART BY SHARKFIN DAVE - DAGAZ WATCH LTD.

here's the UDT i created not so way back when- CASEBACK ART BY ERIK "RAOUL DUKE" S. - DAGAZ WATCH LTD.

I guess I'm just not a flipper. I normally research watches for months before I pull the trigger. The only watches I've sold have been ones I've planned on selling when I bought them but they were cheap ($100 range) and I wanted to check one out anyway.
