Seiko Tuna Homage by Harold Ng,"Yobokies", renowned Hong Kong Seiko modder. This is a limited edition (150 only, no second runs) piece based on the Seiko Tuna SBBN007.
48mm x 14.5mm, 44mm lug to lug, 22mm lugs, and 212 grams with bracelet.
Auto movement, 4R/NH36 from Seiko Instruments Inc.
Screw down crown, hack and wind, with date and 200m WR.
Upgraded to a sapphire crystal with AR (blue) coating. Optional PVD stainless steel bezel insert. Plo-Prof style silicone strap, and additional Hammer bracelet with Albacore logo clasp. Lettering on dial is Kanji meaning Tuna.
Basic Albacore $399, AR Sapphire $60, PVD bezel insert $25, Stainless Steel Hammer bracelet $70, for a total of $554 US. After S+H, and exchange rates the watch cost me $620 CAD. I'm the original owner, purchased June 2013 and worn for one month.
I only rate it at 95% because of one light scratch on the shroud at 8:00 and a couple of swirlies on the clasp. Asking $450, face to face in the GTA only.
