That's a great story Jason! Seriously, that is some watch history!

...I love something about that classic Seiko cushion shape. At that time I started hearing about the Tsunami which is a modern interpretation of the classic 6309 diver - modern (6r15) movement, thick Sapphire, triple sealed crown, 300m water resistance, etc, a "super 6309" if you will.

Totally agrees with that! I kinda have a Seiko thing myself... really, it's not a problem. I can stop anytime!

Jason, just saw this on WUS and thought of your post. Hope it's the right one.

Holy Cow!!

Yep, sent Jason a PM as well.

[Jason Musgrave]

I sent him a pm on it. I think his price is a bit high for a Blackwater - I've seen Paradive's for a grand or just over...hopefully he's willing to deal!

jscottyk - what # is your Tsunami? You the original owner?

...what # is your Tsunami? You the original owner?

Mine is #058. I bought it two years ago from the original owner via an ad at watchuseek.

Gonna have to sell the Tsunami to fund it, but this is inbound!!!!

Nice! Very happy it worked out for you.

Sweet!

Plus somebody is going to get a great watch in that Tsunami. Win win!

Sounds like someones coming back around to liking "material" things again!

[Jason Musgrave]

Yeah, starting to feel better!

Got decent tip a couple weeks ago. Sat on it, not sure what to do. Ended up purchasing a Sistem51. I'm rather fascinated by this watch. It's quite remarkable, in my opinion.

I've had my eye on one. That does it. I'm going to text my wife for permission right now.

Been wearing my "dressiest" watch for a couple days. (dressy in that it doesn't have a dive bezel) I like it but it seems kinda small and I miss the bezel at work. (Sinn 656, btw)

I think I already mentioned that I have Seikos-disease lol. I shouldn't have been looking...because I haven't posted the Tsunami yet but last night I found this cherry all-original 6309 which is now incoming. It's a real disease I tell ya... :-)

Want. Sigh.

OK guys, take it easy on me . . . My wife suggested that we get each other watches for our upcoming 10th anniversary, and I like the idea. I've looked through this thread, and it is a bewildering world for a newbie. I like the looks of the Omega Seamaster, which seems to be well-respected and may come in a smaller version for the ladies. No idea on budget, maybe $5k total for both?

Am I to assume that the titanium versions are lighter than the steel ones? I want something to wear every day, and bulk and weight are to be kept to a minimum.
