Hi everyone!
I purchased this watch after months of reading reviews, forums and attempts to convience myself that I don't need another watch.
But once I saw this Pepsi at local store and I pulled the trigger.
Needless to say, I really like my new Seiko SKX009: the bezel and dial colors, the PCL of jubilee bracelet. But my overall impression from watch will be nicer if I'd wait a little and paid 170 USD at online retailer instead of 270 USD at local store

And yes, the original bracelet feels cheap and rattle but I don't care a lot while it's on my wrist.
It's nice to have a new toy while I'm waiting for my 126710BLRO, which I definitely will buy for MSRP only

For those who unsure if 43 mm SKX will fit on 6.4 wrist here is pics below. BTW, the length of case the same as the Submariner thanks to short and curved lugs

Is a great watch and a lot of fun too.

Congratulations.

It $100. I will gladly pay a little more from a local store so I can make sure everything lines up perfectly. You got a great watch for what is still an amazing price for what you get, enjoy and no regrets.

I have several monsters, they are awesome watches. So is yours, great pickup!!!

Looks great! Seiko are great watches. Period. Even better when you consider the prices.

oldman2005 · 26 August 2018, 02:34 AM

Best watch for the money! I have a chance to wear my Turtle PADI with the Rolex SS BLRO and amazed that Seiko has stayed true to a tool watch like that of a 4-digit Rolex.

Thanks to everybody!

BTW, you are right

I heard that there's a some chance to get a lemon
Anyway, even for 270 USD you get good value for money.

Congrats. It really is a nice piece. Bought for brother in law recently. The bracelet does feel cheap and flimsy when holding it but once sized properly and snugly fit on the wrist, it does feel comfortable and enough to do the job. Well done.

redfoxer · 27 August 2018, 05:59 PM

Haha think the title got everyone. Congrats!

I feel the 009 wears smaller than the sub unless you're talking pre ceramic/maxi case?
