I am a regular visitor of Antiwatchman.com and after so many years of visiting the site, I finally bought something from them. The watch I purchased is the SBDX005 from the Year 2000 Historical Collection.
The purchase was made with the help of Seiyajapan.com as Antiwatchman does not ship out of Japan.
Above is a picture of the watch shown at Antiwatchman.

Martin from the Philippines requested me to post a comparison between the SBDX011 and the 6159-7010. This is what he wrote to me:
Read your post on the 6159-7010, lucky guy that you got this watch. Hope you can make a comparison between your two tunas SBDX011 and the 6159. By the way, can you tell me how much you pay for the 6159?(if you don’t mind) I am now saving for the SBDX011 and is also thinking of getting the 6159 instead of SBDX011.
So here they are, the 6159-7010 from 1975 and the SBDX011 from 2009.
The Tuna Can is really addictive. Barely one month after getting my first Tuna, the SBDX011, I went on and acquired a vintage 6159-7010.
I have set three rules for myself when it comes to collecting watches. Some collectors may find my rules odd but they are set according to my watch collecting and wearing preferences and things like these vary from person to person. So here they are:
Seiko released three prodessional divers recently. Two of them are rated 300m (SBBN015 and SBBN017) and one of them 1000m (SBDX011). I should be getting the SBDX011 soon and while waiting, I had the privilege to handle one of the new 300m divers, the SBBN015.
