Mods or no mods, that's the question.

I want to get your opinions about that seiko mini tuna.

Which version do you like the best?

  1. Original
  2.  Slightly modified by changing the shroud
  3. Furtherly modified with shroud and bracelet.
  4. And should I try changing the bezel to a stainless one?

Feel free to say whatever on your mind. Even if you hate all of it 😁

Changing the shroud is 3asy, all it needs an Allen key and removing three screws. And you are absolutely right I change it quiet often to change the look.

I want to try the stainless steel bezel, but I can't seem to find one to save my life. Maybe someone can help steer me to where I can find one.

Edit: also thinking of all black or blue bezel

Stay original - love mods but the original is classic

Some mods are fun like the Fifty Five Fathoms mod and the Barakuda mod, for example

But I would keep the classics pure.

My two cents

Either version on the strap look great. The bracelet is awful.

·

Love your honesty my friend. That's why I asked for opinions 🙏

·

I have the same take on modding in general. Even so for cars.

Love the idea and the tinkering but sometimes it looks kinda tacky.

In this case, the plasticy blue shroud makes the watch look cheap in my opinion.

Love your mod by the way 🔥

I think the entire point of mods, is so you can make the watch look however you like. With this in mind, it makes no difference what we think. Do what makes you like the watch more. :)

I honestly like it original!

I'm quite biased and I love a steel PADI. I LOVE the look of the swapped bezel and a steel bracelet bit I would stop short or changing the bezel insert.

You are 100% right, but hearing what other watch lovers think and know what they like is great. 

Different tastes lead to different opinions which can guide me to a new idea or an option I wasn't even considering.

By seeing your collection you are definitely biased 😂

But why would you stop short?

I have ordered  a steel shroud for my Arnie snj025.

I do like original watches but some just fit aftermarked parts better then others.

Your Tuna looks great and is one of the watches i think fit aftermarked parts.

Seiko is a great brand to play with!

I have this with the yobokies metal shroud, which I definitely prefer over the original plastic one. Most of the time I wear it on a Strapcode hexad/jubilee or PhenomeNato/ Blushark. It’s one of my top favorite watches. Like with the SKX, there’s something about this watch that makes it special, at least for me.

I always dismissed nato on tuna. Thought it would stick out too much. But, you changed that misconception of mine. Yours looks amazing. I'll definitely try it.

And I think your jubilee option is better than the hexa or my presidential type bracelet. I'll try that as well 

Thank you man 🙏
