seiko skx009 enquiry

[KP328]

Hi guys, just a quick enquiry about the seiko skx009 on the what watch are you wearing thread, i purchased one a few months ago and on the face where Diver's 200m mine is written in orange although the picture on the thread is in yellow, does anyone know why? also i noticed the one in the picture in the thread is on a rubber strap, my mate bought a seiko rubber strap and it feels more plastic than rubber ,is my mates one fake or do they have a more plasticky feel than rubber,sorry for all the questions.

I think the Seiko you're asking about is mine.

The text colour changed during the model's life span - don't ask me exactly when.

The Seiko strap is defo rubber, but it's not very flexible. I didn't like it at all & the watch is now on either my Sinn rubber strap (worth more than I paid for the watch) or a leather strap.
