So does anyone else own this watch or had any experience with it?

It seems reasonably priced... about $160 for an automatic movement, 660ft depth rated, and reasonably attractive.

I'm thinking of picking one up to hold me over while I find my perfect 16600 SD

I would also feel much more comfortable wearing this at the beach or pool with no worries, as I would have them wearing my GMT

160.00 is nothing to worry about loosing over for a watch.

If you want a really nice Seiko, buy a SKA511P1 Sportura Kinetic Divers you will not be dissapointed, I have one and now my son is wearing it.

clarencek · 31 July 2011, 01:26 PM

Yup - owned two. Great watch... it's probably one of the best values in the industry. Both were accurate to within 4 sec per day.

The 007 is a big WIS favorite (all of the SKXs are).

My only problem was the stock Jubilee bracelet was too small for my ginormous wrist, so I have it on a NATO.

drockadam · 31 July 2011, 10:58 PM

Looks great! Nice Jubilee bracelet on it! Can't go wrong with a Seiko my friend.

The skx series are great values and a blast to mod as well. The stock jubilee, while very comfortable, is a bit on the light side. Easy enough to upgrade though.

A great watch indeed. Also look at the other watches in the skx series, all of them excellent value for the money.

Personally, I prefer any other bracelet to the jubilee but thats just me

RolexWatcher · 1 August 2011, 08:49 AM

I have one SKX007K1 (I have a tread on this on TRF) but not on jubilee bracelet.

You will be seriously hard pressed to find a ISO certified automatic diver watch with that Seiko quality at that price! It is really really good watch.

The jubilee bracelet feels a bit light though and so I ordered the one with a rubber strap and brought a SEL bracelet instead. You should try that too if you like! :)

The movement is rock solid but it is not hackable.

S52 · 1 August 2011, 09:57 AM

Awesome! Glad to hear good reviews on the SKX... I think I'll go ahead and order one up... amazon has em for $167 shipped...

h999r · 2 August 2011, 04:07 AM

Seiko made a great watch with great price.

KingJames · 2 August 2011, 07:38 AM

I have a 007 and am thinking about picking up a 009 as well...its that good

LouS · 2 August 2011, 07:59 AM

Don't even waste time thinking about it...just get it. Best value out there.

rkim11 · 3 August 2011, 06:56 AM

I have the SKX009, the same watch but with a red/black bezel on a rubber strap. Great watch, you'll love it.

vukotab · 3 August 2011, 10:51 AM

I had 009 model for years (two years ago I gave it to my uncle, it still ticks flawlessly) and it was one of the best all-round watches that I ever had.
7S26 movement (the same one as in Monster series), while no fancy looking, is without a doubt one of the most robust and reliable movements out there, really bang for buck.
The only downside for me was very light Jubilee-style bracelet, but after awhile, you start to realize that it`s actually VERY comfortable.
You can`t go wrong with Seiko Diver`s!

Rags · 3 August 2011, 12:33 PM

My SKX 175 with super oyster bracelet. I love it & wear it in my pool all the time.

Great watch and like others have said, the bracelet is easily replaceable. Get one.

I have to say this is not a nice looking watch.

Agreed - loving the white dial stealth look

I respect that. To each his own. I had Harold design something specifically for me and it came out exactly as I wanted it. Couldn’t be happier. That’s the whole point of modding; doing something that is unique to your own style. I actually get compliments on it every time I wear it.

Thanks for the love DP. I guess it takes a fellow modder to appreciate the style of a piece like this.

+1 on all the positive comments here regarding 7S26 Seiko powered divers. Great watch and great bang for the buck - as I sit here wearing my Black Monster.
