Thanks for your comments! I'd read where someone suggested calling Seiko 6R15 Prospex Automatic Scuba 200m diver’s watch, SBDC001, the "camel toe," but didn't know the background of how that popped up. Regards, Bryan Funny, Sjors. Thanks for your comments!

In my opinion the most fitting Seiko nickname is the Tuna Can. If the Sumo nickname will stand, the future will learn, but the SCWF has quite a large Seiko enthusiast community. I had a good laugh BTW about the nickname Cameltoe for the Sumo. I saw a discussion about it and thought they were just making jokes to each other.....until someone pointed at the 12 o'clock marker. And to prove it is not only a typical men's joke, I showed it to my girlfriend, who had a good laugh too. Cheers, Sjors Hi Bryan,

American Standard plumbing, huh? Well, at least that has something to do with water! Seriously, I know guys are just excited about the new 6R15 diver coming out and their exuberance spilled over. Along with the points I made above, I think another reason the "Samurai" nickname worked was Higuchi-san came up with it. Lots of people have lots of respect and good feelings for him. Too bad someone like that, for example Wayne Lee, Mr. Tokunaga, or how about Seiya, who broke the news and introduced the watch to everyone, wasn't given the honor of being asked to give it a nickname. I think we'd of all embraced it then. Enjoyed the interview Lee did with you! Glad you enjoyed the post, Greg. American Standard plumbing, huh? Well, at least that has something to do with water!

Yes, some stick and some don't. I still think it looks like American Standard's finest plumbing on the dial of the 6R15 diver at 12 O'Clock. That could have a bearing on a nickname..
