Had the opportunity to handle the new Spring Drive tuna yesterday. This watch is one of many models that were released to commemorate Seiko’s 100th year of watchmaking anniversary. It is limited to 300 pieces and I hope to see Seiko release a regular edition within one to two years from now.
This specimen belongs to somebody and I only managed to take a couple of quick and dirty cellphone shots. Let’s take a look.

I had the opportunity to see this Golgo 13 limited edition Tuna Can last Saturday. This piece belongs to a fellow collector who purchased it directly from Japan. From what I understand, he purchased it from one of the sellers on Japanese site, Rakuten.

I added a SBBN017 to my collection recently. I normally buy automatic watches but the Seiko Tuna Cans are very hard to resist. One thing about quartz watches is that they are very convenient to use. Unlike automatic watches, I don’t have to set the time on quartz watches when I want to wear them.

I took many photos with my trusty cellphone camera and I’m glad they came out pretty well.
Here’s a photo review of the watch.
