Need to sell this very well made and rare Tsunami… Truly a unique watch taking after the Seiko 6390 cushion case design, 100 pieces assembled by hand. This is a catch and release, as it was an impulse buy (really… no research, just had to try it!! mistake.gif ) and I really don’t think I’ll be wearing it much mostly due to the size and I don’t like case shape on my wrist as much I as thought I would. Just not for me, matter of taste. So no need to keep it, I’m raising $ for my next acquisition. I’ve personally worn it twice and it did feel very comfortable, is well built, has a cool vintage look… no issues there. You’ve probably seen the posts on these Tsunami watches sold by Noah Fulleron the forums. He sold these for $750. But I can provide a thread with specific info for this model.

 

The watch is MINT except for a scratch on the bezel [38th minute], which is visible on the pic. Very minimal desk diving wear on bracelet. I think the bezel scratch could be made less visible but I don’t want to mess with it and prefer you see it as is for full disclosure. There are no papers issued with these and I don’t have the box. Boxes just end up cluttering my closet and raise more questions from my wifesubtlelaugh.gif . It comes with the black Nato style strap and the XW solid SS bracelet (even end links)with screwed in links and several micro-adjustments + wetsuit extension. One of the screw bars for 1 link won’t slide out even after unscrewing the small screw on one side. I lost my bracelet tool a while back or I would try to push it straight out, so I’m not messing with it. A jeweler could remove it if you don’t have tools and really needed to rmeove this one link. I have the extra removed links too. It looks best on the black straps IMHO.

 

Price is a low $500 (due to scratch, tight link bar and want to move it quick), which includes USPS Priority Shipping AND Paypal fees for ConUS deals. I usually ship within 24 hrs. NO trades at this time. Payment needed as soon as possible after deal is done. Please feel free to ask about references. I will respectfully ignore lowball offers. Please ask all questions, ensure funds availability and check with significant other [if needed J] prior to purchasing.

 

Please email me at A6BITURBO at GMAIL dot COM if you are interested. It is much easier than PMs as I mostly use my phone and not a PC.

 

Thank you,

Brice
