This watch is growing on me each time I look at it although I still wish the shroud is stainless steel. Thanks for the postings, Thomas!

Consider getting one. The colour combos on these regular editions are nice.

I believe Malaysia should have it by now since Seiko is distributed by the same distributor (Thong Sia) in Malaysia.

This personally looks better compared with the LE version. That gilt dial looks stunning. I really love gold in watches, especially if the rendition is subtle and not too overbearing. Since I can’t afford a Marine Master at this time, the “Baby Tuna” is the closest Seiko model to this design .
Back in our local watch forum, one of our WIS members, Ditoy Aguila interchanged the various shrouds to create his own unique variants. Hope it’s okay to share this link:

I like black dial with gold accents on the hands and hour markers. I find gold outline on the hands more legible than chromed one.
Thanks for posting the link. It is relevant to this blog entry.
Best regards,

I don’t like the name baby tuna. It’s not baby, it’s as big as a tuna. And it’s not tuna, because the lugs are too big.

It’s beyond our control if many people are calling it baby tuna. LOL.

Most people I’ve seen are calling it Sardine.

I know Seiko collectors in Singapore are calling it Sardine. Others are calling it Baby Tuna.

At 44mm, they are not as big as a tuna.

Yes, that is correct. The 300m quartz tunas are bigger.

okay..i’m currently deciding between the new black monster and this one..i prefer the design on srp231 but lume is a strong consideration point..:)

I haven’t seen a Seiko diver with weak lume so it is safe to assume that the lume will be strong on the SRP231.
