    You're going to love your new 007. I purchased one back in 2016 SKX007J for 230 US dollars brand new. I love it and wear almost daily.

    SKX007 is a must have in the collection. I bought one 4 years ago, however this year I got a second one. These watches will eventually pass on to my children one day.

    You will never regret getting this watch. I have been fortunate to have in my collection all JDM 007, 009, 011 and the 013. I would never sell them. My favourite is the 013.

    A couple of years ago I bought a new skx009 for $300 a little misaligned chapter ring but I love wearing it. i am considering modding it to sapphire and fixing the chapter ring. I have most of the tools to do it myself but I might hire a pro to do it. Also love the Citizen ny0040 which you can buy new for $200 ish.

    I got 3 skx watches. One 007k is my daily beater watch been wearing it since 1998 and it still runs great and the other two are 007j and 009j. Both these have had light use as now discontinued so want to keep them as clean as possible.

      @@ThatGuy-sc5rx literally never had it serviced. It’s never been opened the only thing that has changed is the bracelet. I don’t get the watch wet anymore. It currently runs about 5-7 seconds slow per day but I’ve had newer seikos that run worse than that

    Until I just dropped an OEM SKX013 dial into a case with an NH36A to get hack and hand winding and sapphire, I didn’t understand the hype. The dial is absolutely beautiful. Love the oversized printed markers. My SKX looks stock, but has an upgraded bracelet, sapphire crystal, and movement.
    I almost bought a NOS SKX013, but decided to purchase parts to do a new 5KX 38mm orange dial mod. Turning the 5KX diver style watch into an actual diver. Kudos, man. Enjoy it

    I have a JDM / Japanese NOS SKX007 on OEM rubber strap to sell. I bought it to mod in 2018 but never got around to modding it, and it just stayed in my cupboard. I should probably sell it. Still has all the swing tags and stickers on it.

    I have doubts if this store offers original watches. They have all spare parts: full movements, cases, dials, bezels, spring bezel, hands, bracelets etc. I am worry if they re-assembly a watch from 3rd parties by themselves.
    I did a trial…I added to cart 100 new skx007 without any issue. I expected that system will tell me we do not have 100 watches. Please reduce the number of items, but NO. I can easly buy as many skx as I want here :) strange and hard to believe they can sell more than 100 watches in 2024.

    • @HandleTimeChannel
      @HandleTimeChannel  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Pretty sure they are original, since they have had a solid reputation for several decades now and have not heard any complaints from them yet. Mr. Lee is well known in the Seiko community. They do sell SKX007 with different bracelets (just like Creation Watches). But, I would find if very hard to believe that they would start assembling dials + cases together. Not sure he would risk his business and reputation for a quick buck.
      Regarding the cart letting you add infinite items; perhaps that's a web commerce bug? That is strange, though.
