Good day all!

Man I love these Seikos, incoming and just in time for the holidays

I've always loved the SKX009J ... and had the chance to snag one so I bit.

It's really a fantastic value IMO. So what if it doesn't hack or manually wind, who cares that the bracelet rattles etc. There's just something so cool feeling about this one on the wrist ... I can't explain it, but I really dig it.

Anyway, happy holidays everyone

The other beauty of this watch is that there are so many good aftermarket bracelets that can be a substitute if someone didn't like the bracelet.

I think the SKX has the most aftermarket and mod parts than any other watch out there.

I always liked the Ninja Turtle, but the case was just too awkward on my wrist...so I just put together a mod in a black SKX case. Problem solved.

Yes, with various mod parts. My 7 year-old and I did it. We’ll mod him an SKX013 next.
