Frequently Asked Questions:• What does MOD or Modded mean?
- The word 'mod' is short for modified, or customized. In the Seiko world it can be something as simple as changing the original hands to a custom set of hands, like a set of "Mercedes" style hands, the bezel insert to a different design or color, the dial, or face of the watch to a different designed dial, or one made of Mother of Pearl materials. There are numerous ways to customize, or 'mod' a watch. After the process is complete, it's therefore 'modded'. It's a great way of giving a personalized unique touch to a timepiece.
• Are the modded watches in these listings authentic, or originals?
- Our company sources only original pre-owned time pieces from the eras of the 70's, 80's, and 90's. After which we totally disassemble and clean and polish them to acceptable standards. While many parts and accessories can be replaced with custom ones. We assure the case, or body, and the movement to be of the original manufacturer. In the case of Quartz mods, a high quality Japan or Swiss movements have been used for the movements on said mods.
• What is the meaning of the word "Tuna" in respect to Seiko divers watches?
- 'Tuna' is the nickname (Seiko watches have many nicknames) given to one of the cherished collectibles in the Seiko world. The famous 6159-7010. It has a large cover, or shroud over the case that eliminated the need for a helium escape valve while deep sea diving. The shroud on the cover the watch was the first shrouded Seiko diver, and it resembled, according to the early users of it, a tuna can. Hence the nickname Tuna. Our company makes and uses "Tuna" inspired dials in their design.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
We take a vintage Seiko movement and case, clean it, buff the case & crystal, then refurbish it. We then water test on a 3ATM rated water testing apparatus and guarantee to swimming standards, provided Seiko's recommended tips for water care are followed. (Please google Seiko webpage to read these water care tips and other maintenance guides BEFORE placing your watch under water). We then mod it with brand new 3rd party mods from the Dragonshroud Mods brand. You end up with a near new looking MODDED Seiko.
There will be the occasional, superficial flaw in the case, or crystal though we do polish these as much as possible to remove scratches. Please check the photos carefully. These are NOT brand new watches, so please bear that in mind, you may see some wear expected on a 'up to' 20 year old watch. The date may be slightly worn, the crown and bezel slightly stiff, or loose. We do replace any parts on the movement that are not working at the time of refurbishing and replace them with either brand new 3rd party parts or reconditioned workable parts from other Seiko's (may or may not have markings depending on the part) but not all parts on this refurbished watch will be replaced if they are deemed in decent working order. Not all parts are original Seiko parts, some are the Dragonshroud Mods brand, some are generic 3rd party brand, but the case and core movement are guaranteed authentic Seiko. If we used all Seiko parts we wouldn't be able to offer these amazing $1 auctions. The word to keep in mind is that this is a MODDED Seiko watch.
Please bid accordingly & check photos carefully for any slight flaws, as we do not use stock photos ... what you see, is what you get.
