Incoming!

I snagged a hard to get SKX173 from eBay. I really like the SKX series and I don’t know how many chances I will get to obtain one.

Thank you! Upon reflection, I think that the second hand goes the right way and is lumed properly. As much as I like my 007 and 009, I think they lumed the wrong side of the second hand.

I don’t now why sometimes they put the lume on the other end, but I like how this looks

How does it compare to the 007?

Congratulations. I am a huge Seiko fan and enjoy most of the offering from the brand. I am trying to educate myself on the Grand Seiko line-up as I might get one.

Only two differences with 007: square markers for the minutes, the circle is on the other end of the second hand and it is lumed slightly differently. Otherwise, very similar.

This one is more difficult to find. I wanted to get one before it became unobtainable.
