OFFICIAL: Tsunami thread.

Anyone else have interest in a 24 Hour Hacking Tsunami UDT?

That would be interesting. Personally though, the 12 hour GMT bezels are my prefered way to track a second timezone.

I paid my remaning 50% today as well. Silver sunburst with 6105 hands. Congrats to you!

I was having a difficult time deciding on the second hand. I went with the classic black SKX-XW hour and minute hand, and was set on the circle square second hand, but it's out of stock. Ultimately decided on the classic black SKX-XW second hand as well. While not too unique on WUS, I'm sure I'll never see another in person.

Defendnola, any idea as to when you are expecting yours?

Add me as having the same
problem. This is my daily watch that gets lots of compliments. I'll again add what I said above and what's been noted elsewhere in this thread: Jake regulates his T's "to a T". Mine picks up roughly a second every two days, which is amazing. I'm going to have to get rid of a 6309 mod I picked up because I never wear it and I'm keeping my 007 as a banger,but otherwise "ten watches" has become "the watch" for me.

Hey, Torrid, would love to see more pictures of yours. I recall a very nice setup with stealth insert that gave yours a unique look. Was thinking of leaning in that direction when I can scrape together money for a TII. Would love to hear more on yours.

Mine unfortunately isn't quite as tight on accuracy. It was when I first got it, but drifted a bit when it settled. It was -2 a day for the first couple of weeks, but has settled in a -8 seconds a day. I thought about regulating it, but it hasn't bothered me enough to open the caseback. I just set it 4 minutes ahead and reset it at the beginning of the month.

The bezel has the stealth insert and it is very glossy. At extreme angles the bezel just looks black. I've also modified a 24mm Bonetto Cinturini 317 to fit so even at the thinnest point the strap is still 22mm like the bracelet. I then replaced the stock CB buckle with a pre-v Strap Culture buckle. I'll have to take some new pictures with the strap, but I have included some of my older photos.

I'm planning on ordering as close to a classic tsunami from jake as he can make. I'm wondering though, which is nicer, the 2 tier bezel or the 3 tier bezel? How tall is the 3 tire bezel and how does it affect the look of the watch?

Have set Jake 3 e-mails since April 19th asking when I can pay the remaining 50% on the Classic Tsunami, have not heard from him.

He was away on vacation for a while in Canada (from HK). He is probably busy (being a one man outfit, he designs, assembles, calibrates mov'ts, and then ships the watches all by himself). I would wait about 2 weeks after the last email to send another....

Zenrag- Really looking forward in receiving my Classic Tsunami, been waiting since early April. The wait will be worth it!!!

My orange Tsunami will have a 12 hour GMT bezel insert... It'll be my first. All my GMT's are 24 hour. I travel worldwide on a consistent basis and use the 24 hour GMT quite a bit. The 12 hour GMT certainly is useful for most travels and has less chance of developing a problem.

Ok I am playing...
The picture is from the Creator himself !

I pulled the bracelet apart and put threadlocker on all the screws for security. I rearranged a couple links to get them going in the same direction.
