OFFICIAL: Tsunami thread.

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.

Thanks, Torrid. I really like the way the domed crystal and stealth insert mold into each other on your photos. A very unique piece, IMHO. I'm jealous.

Argh, I'd love to own a classic Tsunami. But as always, I'm too late to the party. Enjoy yours guys.

I'll be sulking in the shadows, coveting your fine Tsunamis.

If it makes you feel any better, I've been thinking of buying a Marinemaster for a while now, yet still do not own one.

What is wrong with me? I know I won't regret it if I pull the trigger.

@ Torrid

Nothing wrong with that. You just own some really nice pieces so you haven't felt that urge to splurge on another piece.

Well that might be somewhat true, the main thing is the price. I'm trying to convince myself that the MM 300 is 5 times the watch that the Tsunami is. I know I would be thoroughly happy with it with my only gripe being that it does not have a sapphire crystal. The only thing I'm not 100% thrilled with on the Tsunami is the design of the divers extension. It limits the use of the micro adjust. The design of it is still much better than the weird half link sized one that most Seiko divers have. I had the MM clasp on a watch I no longer own and I loved it.

The two links closest to the case go the opposite way so that the bracelet hugs the wrist better as it wraps around the edge of your wrist. I tried both ways with the links, and found it sits better on the wrist and flows into the endlink better the way it comes from Jake. If they are all going the same way the link near the end link sticks up too far off my wrist and looks awkward next to the endlink. I just prefer it that way, some of you guys might like them all going the same way.

It really does flow better with the first link backwards. I ended up switching it back because something just didn't look right on the wrist from certain angles.

Just got a few pics of my completed Tsunami.




Pretty excited :)

It's never linear. The MM300 is probably twice the watch the Tsunami is at 5x the price. You won't find a watch that's 5x the Tsunami for 5x the price.

True. To be honest I think I am trying to talk myself out of it to save my wallet. I know it's not if I will buy one, it is a matter of when.
