Thanks again for all the feedback, everybody. It took about 8 months, but eventually I found my first Tuna - the 7549-7010. Arrived today, and I immediately threw it on an Isofrane. *Very* happy with it - looks and wears great. Definitely not too big. Here are some shots of the watch and package: The direct-sunlight bezel ding torture test: I have this Italian chrono bracelet on the way, in case I want to class it up: Thanks again, everybody - with your help I definitely think I made the right call for my first Tuna. Cheers!

If I am fortunate enough to buy another tuna, I think that would be the one.

It's a beauty, I'm a big fan of Tunas, do you think this will be your only one or the first of many? I've got a home built TST tuna and I recently got my ultimate watch, a vintage 7c46-7009 Golden Tuna. I thought that would be it for me but I've found myself looking at others

I've been warned about Tuna addiction, and looking at some of these guys collections it's definitely a real thing. I don't think I've caught it quite yet - I'm loving this 7549 but no plans yet for any siblings. The SBDB009 is one sexy beast, though...

Tuna is what's missing from my collection. I know the ones i want, but they will have to wait. 7549-7009 7549-7010 sbbn007 sbbn015 I don't think I'm asking for to much
