The 007 is a classic, and a great buy for a true dive watch

I love the SKX009 or my 7548. Which is essentially an SKX with a quartz movement.

I have owned a few of them also. They are killer pieces for sure.

I found myself looking at the watch and thinking, "I really do like this watch"

I have been waiting 9 months now for the call, but I decided that I am going to enjoy this watch while I continue to wait for my first Rolex.
I love the skx007 and skx009. I use them with nato straps and they're excellent! You will love the skx007! Enjoy!

This raises a question. I see many Seiko watches on ebay and they state comes with a plain box. So I'm thinking that Seiko would not ship a new watch in a plain box. Then I wonder if these are factory rejects or Fake. Any thoughts?

I contacted one seller and was told that a Seiko box and warranty card was an additional $50. I don't get a warm fuzzy feeling buying from any place but the good old USA.
