So I wanted a beater divers watch. The first place to look was at the iconic Seiko Divers. So I bought one for my for my everyday activities. Basically not to risk any damage to my other watches. Of course all relative. Endless money you may use your AP Royal Oak Divers, Panerai Sub or Rolex Sea Dweller for swimming and sports. Thats not me . Of course one mans beater is another mans luxury timepiece. Everything is relative.
The SKX007 is seemed like the perfect choice.
My watch is from

I bough a rubber strap from:
www.uncleseiko...
Spring Bar tool from :

Wouldn't mind getting a Ralf Tech

Check them out, not cheap but pretty nice!

I used to be like this. I had a Rolex Sub, Omega Speedmaster Pro and wore them rarely. I wore other “beaters” regularly. Had a Breitling Chronomat Evolution also.. love all these watches but then I asked myself, why did I buy them? To have expensive ornaments? Why buy a Rolex diver watch if you are never going to use it for what it is intended for? It’s a crapshoot imo. I sold my expensive watches recently and got a few nice timepieces (all under 1K) and I couldn’t be happier. Love the Seiko brand. They have a great rep and I still think that they’re underrated. The “Samurai” line is really sleek and elegant. Reminds me of the Omega Planet Ocean.

I just bought both the Skx007J and Skx009J for $350 each, here in Oct 2021. Awesome watches, couldn’t be happier to be a proud classic Seiko owner! Both came with the jingly Jubilee bracelets, but I have to say the jubilee is quite comfortable and I love the look of these SKXs on a stainless steel bracelet. I might have to upgrade to an Uncle Seiko beads of rice or z199. The rubber straps just don’t do it for me. Great video!

I owned the J version a long time ago, and really studied the differences from the K version at the time. Many don't know that the J version has a sharper, more crisp finish no the lugs and overall looks a lot better built. The lumes were applied better too, if I remember correctly. Now I own the SKX013 and love it. Interestingly, it has the sharp and crisp lugs like the J version. Definitely a lifetime keeper!

SKX007 is iconic but it's not the best value beater watch from Seiko right now in my opinion. I would instead suggest the new Prospex turtles as the best true value diver from Seiko. I personally think it has a better and tougher build than the SKX, with an upgraded movement that has hacking and hand-winding. The turtles are equally as iconic as the SKX, and most importantly, it is not overpriced, which I feel the SKX is right now because it has been discontinued. Maybe you can get a turtle and make a video comparing both? Looking forward to more Seiko vids.

beater is a derogatory word sometimes, especially with skx! seikos dive lineage is unparalleled. you’re only going to see these watches go out in price since discontinuation. ‘it’s not a rolex’ no its not lol and why have you bought this to wear instead of rolex watches are meant to be worn man and you say in this video ‘you arent going to wear it for diving’ ? why? hahaha ? its not really a beater anyway, the in house movement, iconic design, ISO dive rating each individually tested, name another ‘beater’ that does this it’s solid and the build and polish quality is insane for this price. this watch has never come on a nato ever so thats confusing. Its the most modded watch about and a huge community. enjoy your watch, you’ll like it as much and if not more than your rolex in no time. for someone who has rolex’s and tudors you sound like you don’t know much about watches, educate yourself bro.

Yes it does come on a Nato. But you seem to know it all. Thanks for watching 👍
