Sorry that one is a mod. It's actually a SBBN007 . A discontinued model that came with silver insert and fine blasted finish shroud.
Mine has been modded with black pvd shroud and a Pepsi insert.

Afaik Seiko has never commercially released a shrouded diver with Pepsi insert.

Oh ok. No wonder I have been hunting around and also searching through eBay and can't find it. Nice mod though.

I'd thought about Tunas before and kept wondering what I was missing; it just didn't speak to me. I had discussed the matter with some bros here and I was assured that I'd feel different once I put one on... and I must say that I had borrowed one off a fellow member's wrist for a minute and at the end of that... can't say I felt any different. In fact what I said to the bro was that, "it wears like a Casio G-Shock". And then he laughed and agreed with me. Hahaha!

However...

After having viewed all the different collections from the bros on this forum.. I must say that there is a tiny, little bit of poison seeping into my system... The only thing keeping me safe is the fact that I am carefully restricting myself to automatics and the auto Tuna is well beyond what I'm prepared to put down for a Seiko at this time. Emphasis is on, "at this time".

So the Tuna is joining my list of watches that I'd want to collect... but it's still behind the MM300, among others. It has been a real eyeopener and I'm looking forward to getting more poison from more of the bros here!

Would anyone be bringing their Tunas for a show and tell during the upcoming gathering?

Here´s my mod : 7549-7010 with cal. 6309 and aftermarket bezel insert and dial. 2 or 3 years ago I had the chance to buy this NOS case from a Seiko dealer. I´d like to mod another one, but can´t find no case.

Do we call Tuna for any Seiko watch with a shroud or only Seiko Diver with a shroud?
Sorry for a basic question.
