Sorry to ask such a dumb question:
A customer asked me what is the
difference between a Seiko Monster
and a Seiko Tuna?
What is the diameter of the Caesar?
I think I've gave him the wrong answer
when I looked up the model number
SKX781,as the Orange Monster.
I also inadvertently mistaken the
SKX251K,as the Tuna with Yellow dial.
If someone could correct me that
would very be much appreciated.
Difference between Monster and Tuna Cans: It's night and day. The Monster (SKX779 Black, SKX781 Orange) is an affordable ISO 200 m diver with the commonplace 7s26 automatic movement for around USD 200.
The newly revised and dramatically further-up-marketed JDM (Japan Domestic Market only) Tuna Cans (nicknamed that because of the tuna can like shroud around the case) are in an entirely different league from the Monster.
The SBBN015 at around USD 960 is an ISO 300 m with the exquisite 7C46 quartz movement. Click on this link for more. http://www.higuchi-inc.com/sbbn015.html
The SBDX011 Darth Tuna is ISO 1000 m and titanium cased with the high-end 8L35 automatic movement. Yours for "just" USD 2280 from Higuchi-san in Japan. Click here to see more. http://www.higuchi-inc.com/sbdx011.html
As to SKX251 (I'm not familiar with that model number), I believe you meant to write SKZ251 which is a yellow-dialed Frankenmonster or Frankentuna, an affordable (USD 200) ISO 200 m diver with a 7s36 auto movement. The watch has just about the best, biggest, baddest and brightest lume of any watch. Best I know, production has ended on all Frankenmonsters, although they're still available. The nicknames refer to the shroud and the Frankenstein-like side bolts that hold the shroud in place and the humungous overall size of the watch at about 50 mm case with crown diameter.
Getting back to this thread's subject, the SKA385 Caesar's case measures about 45 mm without the crown and 49 mm with the crown. The dial is about 31 mm.
Hope all this helps.
Happy 4th to all!
Thank you Airwatch for the info.
Cheers,
Simon
