For me a large amount of the pleasure in owning and wearing a watch from an iconic Japanese brand is that it is in fact made in Japan.

Looking down at the dial and seeing ‘made in Japan’ makes me smile just as much as seeing ‘Swiss made’ on my more expensive watches, hence I’m only buy J models.

As per the post above I’m sure there no difference in quality between J and K models though.

My feelings precisely. There is not much price difference and it's good to see that Made In Japan text.

(although I am under no illusion that 'Swiss Made' or 'Made In Japan' truly mean what they state these days but that's a different discussion.)

I have K's and J's in my humble hoard and neither performs noticeably better than the other, but I do prefer the J's that little bit more.

My newly acquired SKX009. My wife got me this for my birthday, I am beyond chuffed with it.
I need to reduce the size of the bracelet (dainty wrists), do I just poke out the pin in the clasp and move it to a different hole?

Creation never fail with the awful photos. Yours, Andy, makes it look amazing. Theirs... well...

Cheers. It’s a great watch as standard. Mine does have a slightly domed crystal which adds a certain something.

Did you have the domed crystal fitted Andy?

I think this might be my next purchase, once I get round to moving on the FFF which I have but don't wear.

Happy birthday.

Yes, you can just move the bar to a different hole.

I want one.
My SKX007 is by far my favorite watch.

Birthday is another 3 months though and already bought two watches this year .

Depends on how much needs to be taken out , you may need to remove a link , if in doubt pop along to a jeweller , most can resize it for you

Very nice! I recognise the Pogue but I hadn't seen the 7a38 before. Thanks for the video!

The Bellmatics do seem like good value for a classy looking watch with an alarm too.

This may be a potential incoming too, on holiday right now and the local jewellers has this in the window.



This was the new ltd edition announced at Basel this year. It’s sold out everywhere and selling above retail... should I?!

[tobinen]

Definitely, yes.

[ZesPak]

I really, really want to like it. But the non-inverted date would put me off.
Would be cool to have the selection of a white on black date instead of a second language .

[OMITN]

+1 def get it.

Or buy it for me.

[AmosMoses]

See incoming thread... Had to be done!
