Seiko SKX007 - Anyone know where I can get one ??

[dibblecorse]

Looked all over for an SKX007 on a rubber starp but no joy, any of you guys got any ideas ??

If you can put up with a K version:

The J seems to be sold out though it's not clear if this is temporary or permanent:

Or buy the 009 & a replacement bezel insert form ebay for £3:

There are several 007s on ebay as well

Creation will be your best bet, and don't worry about the K/J thing. It's supposed to indicate where the watch was made but it really makes no difference what-so-ever.

Cheers guys, was hoping for a UK stockist as wanted it for my honeymoon so needs to be here by Weds, will buy it on my return

[CardShark]

Amazon list it, they should be able to deliver on Wed or maybe tomo if you get in quick enough.

Notably more £ though, so seeing as you can wait I'd do just that.

ETA many congrats!

Thanks, only a US seller has them MrWatch so unlikely to be here before deadline, but saying that, I can get the SKX009 by Weds, hmmmmmmmmmm

And cheers for the good luck

I was told when i inquired into buying one in the UK that they were no longer being produced and are being faded out for the new generation (which are quite different), i don't know if this is true, but i couldn't find any in the UK...

I bought mine from creation, 3ish day delivery, and i live in the middle of nowhere...

Nice watch though and you can always get it modded if you grow bored.

SKX009 has a blueish face

Alternatively the SKX171 is a metal bezeled version.

I like this watch. If ordered in the US I guess taxes have to be paid etc? Can anyone talk me through this process?

Cheers.

Ps I guess this is cheaper than a UK dealer.

I've just been through this. I wanted a 007 variant but wanted something a little bit different and prefer rectangular markers to the round ones so went for a 173. It's the same watch bar the cosmetic differences.



Sorry for the picture quality btw. Can take a better one if needed.

Unfortunately it's not available in the UK so I had to order on from the USA which added to the cost considerably. The watch was cheap enough at £120 but another £20 for shipping and a whopping £38 in import taxes and handling charges were a bit hard to swallow. Speaking to the parcel force people suggests that anything that comes via USPS always gets stung, fed-ex not as much.

Best of luck whatever you decide on.

Think it's just how lucky you feel...! That said, I think I read on here a few days ago someone else saying that they didn't think anyone here had been stung when ordering from Creation, who deliver from Singapore via FedEx (which may agree with the poster above), and the prices on their website include FedEx shipping to the UK.

Waiting on my second Creation delivery tomorrow. Didn't have to pay any extra on the first, and keeping fingers crossed!

I bought a SKX007J from creation watches last week. No problems with customs to the uk.
