When Noah Fuller was alive, there was a constant wish on the old SCWF by members for Seiko to reissue a modern version of the venerable 6309 diver. Noah decided to fulfill that demand by creating his version which he called the Tsunami. It was like a regular 6309 on steroids. The movement installed was the 6R15. Noah took a year or so to produce the watch. He had CAD drawings made up of his ideas, went to a Hong Kong manufacturing company and ordered this prototype firstly. He made many Seiko options of dials, handsets and crowns. Even a sterile caseback was offered, which I opted to get (in keeping with the military idea of non identifying a watch haha! All his Tsunamis came with a great heavy bracelet, which I removed and installed a leather strap or mil spec Maratack band. Noah included in his kit an extra leather strap, springbar tool and carrying case.  Tsunami Mil MONTAGE by blingmeister, on Flickr |

Your montage is an excellent tribute to one we lost too soon.

Nice one, Thian! It would be even more "tacticool" with a set of "ladder" hands!  Best wishes, Myles |
