What a great comparison. All great looking watches and nice to see them side by side. The dial on the mini is just beautiful. Mrs CSR has great taste… at least in watches! 😊

Cheeky bugger 😜 😁😁😁

The greatest dive watch ever! For me, the Grandfather Tuna is almost unbeatable, but of more modern Tuna, I'd go SBDX013 'Dark Emperor.' The most legible watch ever, great *L movement and so wearable, so light. Also it's badged 'Marinemaster 1000' which just elevates it - I just can't buy into the 'X!' But all are fantastic and a unique and utterly brilliant design. Also, worth remembering the 50th anniversary is next year and I can't image Seiko missing an opportunity to re-release an amazing LE...

[@ClickSpringReview]

Yeah I'm sure Seiko will release a LE lol :)

Good comparison of various Tuna. Learn a bit more about Tunas and their sizes. Thanks! Just saw someone is selling black PVD Tuna (mini? baby?) that’s about 40mm diameter SRPE31K1 made in Japan, with the Prospex logo 200m WR and Mickey Mouse on the dial. Using the same set of SKX hands but lollipop second hand is painted red. It’s a 7S26 movement with day,date complication. It’s definitely a fun watch to get and I am considering it, just no way to check the authenticity of it.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I think I reviewed that model but without MM on the dial around 3 years a go when I first started the channel, But I'm sure it didn't have the 7S26 it should have the newer hacking NH35 movement kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHakeKOMh8uCm7csi=BqRsZeba4Vwhx386

Out of all the watches I've sold the Seiko Tuna is the one I still think about.

[@ClickSpringReview]

they are a statement piece and so like able

[@Matt-uq3in]

Fantastic, the 7c46 is unbelievable movement and the 8l35 is good the 6159a is something else ticks at 36,000vph 5Hz🔥

[@ClickSpringReview]

I just serviced a Seiko 4500A which was their very first 36,000vph movement for client which was from the late 60s

[@expertreviews1112]

the 43mm automatic looks best on your wrist tbh!!! nice vid!!

[@ClickSpringReview]

Cheers Sir

Great review, but perhaps you're missing a longer discussion on the 1000-m quartz monocoque Tuna, which is my favourite of all of the Seiko Tunas. You did briefly bring it up via a photo of your SBBN013... The story behind Seiko Tuna is one of the most interesting stories in the watch world. Seiko's efforts in the 70s to develop the Tuna as a reliable & robust divers watch, IMO, were on par with Seiko's quest for accuracy in the 60s through their GS lines.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I didn't want to make the video to long plus I wasn't really arming as history of the Tuna as you say there is a lot of it and so would require a 30min video to do it justice , I've done long in-depth reviews and history of the Sinn EZM1 and 2.

[@blethook]

@@ClickSpringReview I think it was one of your Sinn reviews that brought me to your channel. Excellent job!

[@ClickSpringReview]

@@blethook Cheers Sir I do enjoy making the Sinn reviews and glad your enjoying the channel

I have the sne ( the baby darth tuna with orange minute hand ) and a SRP653 ( 50th anniversary Special Edition with blue ceramic shroud ) and love them both #teamtuna #babytunas 🐟🥫⌚🌊🍣

[@ClickSpringReview]

The Tuna is just a get model I really like the fact it has its own design Tom

[@theshadowman1398]

Emperor tuna will be in my collection in several months.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Lucky guy 😎

[@pibblesnbits]

Ive owned the sbbn017, sbbn037, and sbdb013. They all rock. Loved the metal hands on the 017 but it lacked legibility compared to the newer tunas. The 037 has better lume but I didnt like the handset as much as it l felt cheap and was true to the orginalnal style. The sbdb013 had the spring drive and feels very premium (best bang for buck tuna and spring drive) but the same handset issue kept the watch from being perfect. From a tool perspective the new handsets are more legible and functional than the traditional tuna metal handsets which they brought back on the newest versions.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I've only ever had one spring drive and after it stopped auto winding and cost me £700 to have fixed I've sort of gone of them which is unfair I know

[@TomCorbett420]

Oh interesting

[@pibblesnbits]

@@ClickSpringReview That's an expensive repair! What model spring drive was it?

[@ClickSpringReview]

@@pibblesnbits It was a Le Spring Drive Chrono 5R86-0AG0 👍🏻

[@ericb8888]

Excellent video … that Emperor only needs one thing … shoehorn a black Isofrane onto it … with the black buckle option ;)

[@ClickSpringReview]

Yeah I used to always wear my Darth Tuna on a black ISO strap

[@adrianhargreaves2854]

Quartz golden tuna is my all time favourite

[@ClickSpringReview]

Tunas should always be quartz 👍🏻

[@adrianhargreaves2854]

@@ClickSpringReview I agree

[@KRW628]

I have two of the original "affordable" Tunas, the SRP637. It was a Gen 2 Monster with a steel shroud on it; 4R movement. They came out about six or seven years ago. (I'm wearing my SKX right now :)

[@ClickSpringReview]

I also have a Monster Gen 1 case and bracelet, I keep meaning to buy a dial and movement at so point

[@matthewmccord99]

I like the mini/baby tuna the best. Thanks for this review. 👍

[@ClickSpringReview]

They are great pretty cool 😎

[@fabricea7704]

Super nice collection. I prefer the 007 but the 600 and 1000m versions are cool too. The automatic makes me want (or a spring drive). Maybe one day... 😅 👋🇨🇵

[@ClickSpringReview]

For me the SBBN007 is the one , the 1000m and spring drive just feel to big Sir 👍🏻

[@TomCorbett420]

Pareil, j'espère pouvoir m'offrir une Spring Drive un jour ..

[@russellseah2347]

577 hands down. Weekly on my rotation.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Its a great looking model and a bit of a bargain

[@Mile-long-list]

Albacore. Some mayonnaise, dill, pepper and onion.

[@fabricea7704]

And some rice ? 😁

[@thetimebombardier]

Nice to the tunas get a run out 😅 think they often get forgotten with all the limited editions 👍😎

[@ClickSpringReview]

There are so many models available but still nice to see 4 very different ones side by side

[@keikawahara6875]

I like "Ninja Tuna",SBBN035.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I do like that one also 👍🏻

[@fabricea7704]

I had it, I sold it. What a mistake ! 😝

[@ClickSpringReview]

I've had many of them like when I sold my less than a year old Daytona for £6.5 lol

[@jevgenijivanov6824]

Like for video! I have Tunas: SNE555 SBBN007 SBBN017 SBBN007 - my favorite watch in my set. In future I want replace the crystal to original Seiko flat sapphire from SBBN045 - maybe somebody know is it possible and how much it can cost ?? SBBN017 - I very like this watch: ''S'' logo at the crown, ''MARINEMASTER'' at the dial, applied ''SEIKO'' logo at the dial, stainless steel bezel insert, matte shroud, and best bezel action in my all watch set. But at this summer I will try sell it.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Im sure the parts won't cost much around £40 but then you need a watchmaker to fit them and pressure test it Ps thanks :)

[@jevgenijivanov6824]

Hello! Seiko official retailer in Latvia tell that SBBN045 original crystal cost ~550€ 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ClickSpringReview]

@@jevgenijivanov6824 Shame your not in the UK I could of helped you out

[@spyrop.8428]

I like the one that noone likes with the flat sapphire and the X instead of Marinemaster.

[@ClickSpringReview]

The black automatic ?

[@spyrop.8428]

@@ClickSpringReview SBBN049, I think it's my all time favourite

[@ClickSpringReview]

Thats a cool model but I still like the SBBN007 as it was one of the very first dating but to the 90s

[@CowCatwithafancyHat]

Only acceptable tuna is an automatic tuna. I prefer to use the sun instead if I have quartz as the only option.

[@ClickSpringReview]

The was first an auto but professional divers said they wanted a quartz

[@CowCatwithafancyHat]

@@ClickSpringReviewHaha, I bet they did. As a stubborn watch enthusiast that doesn’t dive more than few inches, there are only 3 quartz watches on the white list: Accutron, Oceanus, G-Shock. All those tunas looked excellent! Some have more value to some.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I have a few quartz models, Tuna, Sinn UX and EZM2 , I'd love to get a Rolex quartz but maintain them is getting harder these day
