Yes, buy it, you won't regret if, it's a great watch for that price and the pictures don't do it justice, the dial is sunburst deep blue.

This may upset Seiko fans, but:
Old SKX009 on a tired and cracked rubber strap
Many youtube videos later, followed by a buying spree of tools and parts: it's got a new bezel insert, on a gunmetal bezel and a new leather strap with comically large buckle:
Polished gunmetal chapter ring and funky second hand are waiting to be fitted when the last tools I've ordered arrive...if I grow the balls to actually try changing them.
It's a bit more drastic than a bezel swap - even though the wonky chapter ring and misaligned hands are what kicked all of this off.
In the meantime, the 009 is one of my faves, so I got this thing to replace it:
It's a Deep Blue Nato Diver 300....came on a rubber strap which I've changed, and has a Seiko NH36 movement, sapphire glass, 300m depth and helium escape valve for all the good they'll be for me. Also, it's slightly larger and SO much nicer to look at - the photos do the colour no justice at all.

Just sold mine. Not a big fan tbh, I ordered the blue one but I think the black one will look better in the flesh.Dan_1981 said:

The bracelet let it down immensly as it was very rattly, my main gripe with Seiko in general.
Anyway, was a bit underwhelmed by it.

I like the bezel and insert. May I ask your source? Old SKX009 on a tired and cracked rubber strap

Sure - this guy: https://one-second-closer.com/
Be warned: that site is a rabbit hole. I've already planned my next 4 mod designs, which means I'll have to buy more SKXs, a turtle and maybe a Vostok.

I emailed them about that strap to no avail 
how did you order it?
I started off using Google translate on their online order system, but got stuck with the green edging finish. Then emailed them and they pointed out that this was a special request in an extra box at the end of the order process when you pay. Did this and came through OK. Took a few weeks mind. Can dig out their email if you'd like. how did you order it?warp9 said:

Add around £30 tax to the Creation price.
It's a nice watch, I wear it daily.
