Very easy to answer that Sir, It looks like you will need to build a Tuna after all Sir.  When are you starting that project, and remember pictures of it too. It looks like a start of a :winner: :party:. I would not sell that at all. I collected some odd's and end's so far but no case or dial yet. But eventually I may have one later. Enjoy that one Sir............  . |

It's one of those things I would never install in a watch...just keep in my drawer and be content that I have it.
strange and doesn't make any sense, but unfortunately it's how I roll.

i hope you will find a better place for it than a spares compartment.

Rob i hope you will find a better place for it than a spares compartment. I should make a teeny tiny frame for it. And like you, I'd never install it unless I had a 7C to put it in. |

Someone got some tuna building joy ahead of them I am not going to pull a "Saul" and build a watch starting with one NOS piece, tempting though that idea may be. If they had the handset, I'd consider it. They have a few other parts, movement parts mostly, but nothing critical. For a second I thought they might have the case and shroud... and if that was the case then yes we'd be on the hunt. But they don't. |

Building a watch that way has taught me unending patience and a zen-like peacefulness. Things I desperately need at work to keep from committing HR actionable offenses against some of the unyielding idiots I have to work with! |

Very nice Tuna dial  According to its dial code and the lack of the suwa symbol at 3 o'clock I would guess that this dial belongs to the international version S23157 of the 7c46-7008 (around year 2000-2004). Nice find Sir  |

Nice find Sir Great info! The code on the back is "6D" so I wonder if they made some replacement dials later on. |
