Which one should I go with guys

I'd go for the 009 unless you really love the vintage look. The day/date complication is one reason. Reliability is another. Cheap movements still cost money to service. I prefer the 009j over the 009k with the extra line of text for a more balanced dial layout.

You’re an enabler Adam... this is the pic I needed to confirm the purchase of the SKX009J

If you feel a vintage vibe go for the 7002, tho it will be hard (really hard) to find one in original condition and at decent price.
Otherwise just go for SKX.

009 for sure (and yes, j rather than k). That said, I'd look at the mini turtle. The SKX's achilles is the old movement. Unless it's your one-and-only watch, the day-date complication plus lack of manual wind is a total pain.

Go with the 009. I've owned both a SKX009 and an 80s 7002.

The 7002 was great and I had it for a few years but after a failed water pressure test I couldn't own it any longer. I sold it and purchased a brand new 009 on a Jubilee and the rest is history. I've had my 009 for almost 5 years now, and it's my go to sports watch.
