Let's take a look at the real world pictures of the Darth Tuna. On paper, it's a behemoth footprint of a beast so wearability would be a bit of an issue. My biggest watch todate could be a tossed between the Panerai Submersible and Citizen Promaster Aqualand, so this Darth Tuna ain't too shocking at first look.
But placed next to the MM300 and it's recognisably larger between both watches. However, its saving grace was that it was constructed by titanium and further fitted with a lighter quartz movement (as opposed to an automatic movement), so it might be large but its weight ain't much of an issue.
Due to the hidden lugs, the Darth Tuna was surprisingly wearable. It had a few things working for it. Firstly, its DLC treatment meant that it looked smaller that it really was. Secondly, its rubber strap was similar to that as used in the Spring Drive 600, so it was very soft and pliable. That made wearing it an easy affair, and it was easy to get comfortable with it.
But as usual, given that I have a dozen or two of Isofrane straps in my watch accessories chest, I soon retrieved a brand new 22mm black Isofrane and fitted it onto the Darth Tuna.
And the Isofrane being the premium strap in the rubber strap world, the earlier comfortable experience became even more comfortable thereafter. It would seemed as though this Darth Tuna could work towards earning its place in my collection after all.
