Seiko Solar Arnie Tuna Prospex SNJ031P $349.00 delivered
Such an ugly watch. Bruce Wayne wouldn't be caught dead with this even in his pocket.
It's almost like people have different tastes hey.
Don't take nicknames too seriously, it's called "Batman" because of the black & blue bezel.
I thought it was due to the bat logo style 12 o'clock marker on the face
The "fugu" will be the thing that killed him if he was caught dead in it though..
… what does Bruce Wayne had to do with Batman???
Damn you WatchNerd, I was hoping the Seiko Arnie would ghost through everyones radar this weekend.. 😭 Well played sir. I will see you at midnight Monday. 😉
i’m tempted by the arnie , don’t have any arnies yet, but the green finish limits where i’d wear it ….might wait for a black one ….. always worried about coloured tunas and arnies if the paint comes of the stainless steel eventually and they look battered vs stainless steel finish always shiney ….
But if you get this now and with all the discount, you can afford to get yourself another Tuna from China with SS materials, sapphire glass, ceramic bezel, milled clasp, choice of colour, easy to mod for under $150.. 😅
I'm sad I missed out on the $199 Solar Tuna. I really liked the orange accents on that one.
it looks massive on my wrist…how heavy it is though
Will we ever see another standard Seiko turtle on sale? Anyone remember the 'pepsi' turtle for like $299 from starbuy?
remember when every weekend has a turtle or samurai of some colour on special …… mine are all still in boxes because i end up wearing my solar or quartz watches …..time set and always ready to wear …some of my quartz are 3 years on same battery and still going ….solar ….oldest one i have is seiko …. would be 20 yrs + years now and still going …..
Memz
..time set and always ready to wear
Part of the joy of a mechanical watch it to stop doing everything for 2 minutes. Admire the watch, set the time etc and then move on with your day.
I've never bought a watch before. What are the things I need to look out for?
Bro that's a very broad question which could take an hour to answer.
The easiest response is… don't buy a fashion watch and always buy what you like because you're the one who'll be wearing it.
Also recommend you watch some youtube videos, that's the easiest way to learn.
dont buy.. stick to your phone.. or money drain from ur wallet or bank
I do use my phone all the time to check time. It's just occasionally there are situations that it'd be more handy if I had a watch on my wrist to tell the time without taking my phone out.
@peteranh3105: I try not to pull my phone out in dodgy areas so I don't get robbed. I just look at my Rolex instead.
Fair enough, I'll do a bit more research into this to gauge what interests me in a watch. Thanks for the advice @WatchNerd.
this would be my pick of the bunch but it's way out of my league. https://starbuy.com.au/oris-propilot-x-mens-watch-01-400-777…
Might have to look on Aliexpress for a cheaper one haha.
