Can I be excited?!!!

[berry100]

Having had an expensive tag (sold) then an omega speedmaster (sold) and a longines (10 yr old but damaged on a night out....long story!!)

Do i have a right to look forward to a Seiko skx007j arriving along with a super oyster II strap separately or am I being a skintflint!!!!!!?

[bry1975]

No I think you will like the Seiko SKX007 it has a very utilitarian rugged look!

Treat the watch to a nice domed blue Ar sapphire at a later date and you'll have one beauty.

No you're not!

Seikos are great!

[DAVE-W]

Must admit to loving a nice Seiko divers myself.....almost bought a yobokies modded one when my CWC divers popped up

[Podie]

If it's something that you want, then yes you have a right to look forward to it!

IMO enjoying watches (or cars) are not all about money, or about the name.

I say this every time someone mentions the 007... but I really miss mine (lost somewhere!).

I always hope one day it will turn up.

Not that excited........yet...

Just found out it's been delivered today, will check watch tonight but a possible thumbs up for bodying.co.uk where I ordered it from.....

[mikees]

Where are you buying from?

[bry1975]

IMO the best buy for Seiko SKX007s is the Tz-Uk sale forum as they can often be had for £90-£110 in very good condition.

I registered with TZ and got an email back but never got authorised and I get emails to admin bounced - any ideas?

Anyone used creationwatches?

Got my new one from there just this week. Can't fault them.

[andy tims]

Nowt wrong with an SKX.

[berry100]

Well, got it on now, v nice!!!! Having spent a few quid on my previous omega, tag and longines....how is it that a Seiko can look quite nice in comparison.....lesson learnt today..."look past the brand!!"

Roll on the super oyster strap then will figure out how to post a pic in the wrist thread.....

[berry100]

Anddddd....can't fault bodying.co.uk....

Ordered late sun night, arrived lunchtime today, all for £130 brand new including delivery for the japan model....yes I have spent too much time on google wondering what the difference is between skx007k and skx007j !!!

[deejuic]

You're fine! I've got an IWC, Panerai, Longines, Omega, etc. and I still wear my Seiko Monster on a regular daily basis. Love that fact that it's durable and looks good. Enjoy!

[bry1975]

IMO every bloke should own one Seiko SKX007 or 009!

What are the differences between the J and K models?

How is yours for time keeping so far?

[berry100]

Probably not much!! As I understand the J model is marked on the face diffferently as made in japan and is supposedly better made, not convinced by that theory but it seems to be more in demand in terms of pricing but hey ho who knows??

Got it on today with the office gear and it looks fine although the particular shirt I have on is not overly forgiving in the cuff for the watch size....

[bry1975]

Have you tried the SKX on a Green or Black Rhino strap?
