Hey, Jay....

The SBBN011 - 7c46 quartz powered = DARTH TUNA
The SBDX011 - 8L35 auto powered = EMPEROR TUNA or DARTH EMPEROR (if I'm not mistaken, the first person to nickname it is my good friend Shannon Spence a.k.a. Spring Diver).

Hope that helps, bro.

Yep...SBDX011 "Emperor Tuna" is the only automatic Tuna currently for sale. However, the new Field Masters 200m 6R15 are shrouded like Tunas w/ compass bezel insert.
Maybe Seiko will make a version with a diver insert ;D

Cheers

I'm thinking "Tunamaster"! ;D

Maybe Seiko will make a version with a diver insert.

If they don't, we will! :

Shannon it's gonna be a touch decision for me on the next watch. Emperor Tuna is at the top of my list, however I'm craving a Grand Seiko. Been lusting over the SBGH001. Emperor Tunas movement is 8L35 and I have it in my newly aquired MM300... A Grand Seiko would give me the chance to own a movement above the 8L35... I dunno thinking out loud... The GS is not a Tuna though... Hmmm... Either way I have plenty of time to think. The next purchase is a tear or more away... Ha ha.

At 200m WR (and w/o even the diver designation), not much of a Tuna.

Yes a GS is not a tuna, but... ever consider this GS diver.

This has become a new grail for me.
