I have.

I spent a long time looking for the ideal mechanical "sports/tool" watch, with the Pelagos as the front runner for most of that period.
But the more I looked into it, the less it made sense to have a mechanical "tool" watch with a movement that has almost the same level of finishing as a cool quartz movement (see pic), but nowhere near the ruggedness and performance. Even with all the fancy mechanical movement tech (silicon hairspring, super duper observatory accuracy certification, full balance bridge, Breguet overcoil, dual mainspring barrels, etc.).

So I bought a Seiko Tuna (the one on the left in your pic), and it just makes absolute perfect sense.

>very high finishing quality
>similarly satisfying minimalistic "tool" design as a Pelagos
>BUT visually more interesting than a Pelagos (domed instead of flat crystal, polished highlights instead of all matte, unique case design instead of bloated Oyster case, etc.)
>old-school overbuilt quartz movement from the 80s (see pic)
>absolute best lume on any watch ever

It's absolutely perfect.
