The new wave of "Homage"s!!

Most of us are used to equating an "homage" as a repro of a classic watch done to a LOWER standard than the origingal .. ex: Rolex Sub done using an ETA, a Benrus minus the solid back, a Blancpain minus the in-house movt and bakelite bezel..etc...etc..

IMO, the new wave of homages should look to a higher standard, IMPROVING on the original watch, in build, movement, accessories, and quality...

After wearing my modded Tsunami for one week, I'm impressed. To me, this is what Seiko SHOULD have done when they released the Sumo. Hack/handwind 6R15 movt, 5.05mm thick sapphire, cushion case, beefy bracelet with ALL separate links and dive extansion, options for crowns and bezels, 22mm lugs with drilled lug holes, and all comfort all the time.

Here's quick comparison with a 6309 mod..."mod for mod"







Cheers!

That new case is just sick and the bracelet!! Blows seiko away and you're right about the homage being better than the real deal on this piece!! My next watch!

Haha!...Thanks, man. I can't take the bloody thing offa my wrist! I've got some very neglected Omega, Tissot and Seikos right now, but this thing is STEALING the SHOW!

Yours looks much more solid to the eye...

Jake..You just might have coined a new term for the
Tsunami !..Homage + Improvement = Improveage !
The Tsunami is an Improveage ! Or it could also
be known as an Homprovement ! In any case, it
is actually better than the original IMO..so that's
pretty cool !

"Solid as a set of Russian brass-knuckles, brotha!"
I like it ...

Not much to say other than I love it!

man that's cool! Nice thick bezel and crystal, awesome bracelet. maybe a small thing but I love that crown too.
I'll will have to get one soon. Excellent watch!

Wow, Noah! you never showed me those! Your Tsunami really will be a special watch for those buying it...totally gving the person his personal touch! Most excellent, Amigo!
