I borrowed this tool watch from a good friend. I used to own its cousin/sibling WAY back in the day.
Let's get some first impressions of it.

Still very fond of my SKX007J1 - sad I sold it sometimes

@1968jpy 27 күн бұрын

I own the SKX009K and recently purchased a new old stock SKX011J2. Nothing beats the SKX 👍🏻💯

That's an amazing looking new strap on the Tudor. The Tudor is more your style than the diver.

I had this same one. Great watch. Mine also had an aftermarket bracelet. Really improved the wearing experience

@KillingTimeWithNorman 25 күн бұрын

Yes, the bracelet my friend put on this is amazing! 🍸🍸

@mattyyay 27 күн бұрын

Seiko is not known for making great bracelets. Case and point, that is an aftermarket bracelet with a milled buckle rather than a seiko bracelet with a stamped buckle.

Ahhh. The Ghost of past mistakes. I have had at least 3 (007) and 2 (009). I gave them away to family members and friends. I use to pick them up for a little bit of nothing. Now! Look at the prices. 😭😭

@KillingTimeWithNorman 28 күн бұрын

Yeah the prices are pretty crazy :/

@timb8095 27 күн бұрын

I’ve got a SKX009J1, Omega SMP 300m and a Speedy among other watches. The Seiko does not compare in any way, yet it’s still a fun watch that I enjoy wearing.

Nice! Great collection! 🍸🍸

Such a great watch. Can't believe they would discontinue them. Such a weird move from Seiko. If what they wanted was to bump the price up, they could've simply upgrade the crystal and movement. Everything else is pretty much perfect as is.

Yep exactly.

Hi Norman. My Son had one of these. The Seiko shuffle lol. I remember it well.

@KillingTimeWithNorman 28 күн бұрын

Oh cool. haha yeah. I took my SKX to a Rolex AD and taught the salesperson about the Seiko Shake - she had no idea that was a thing. And I knew nothing about anything myself at that point. lol

@obesetuna3164 28 күн бұрын

Well, it was always a Seiko, and Orient thing. Far removed from the posh folks at Rolex.@@KillingTimeWithNorman

@KillingTimeWithNorman 28 күн бұрын

Yep. FAR.

I’ve still got two SKX007s. One is totally original, recent service but no modifications. The other is box-fresh - bought a week or so after Seiko announced they would be discontinued and never worn. It gets a day or so in my watch wi dear each month, just to keep it ticking over. I doubt I’ll sell it, but I’m interested as to how prices might go… Thanks for the video and keep well :-)

@KillingTimeWithNorman 25 күн бұрын

Oh cool! And that's a great idea to pick one up and give it 'museum' treatment! 🍸🍸

@marcsmith-wl9pw 28 күн бұрын

Started my collection with a 007 still have it. I bought a four hour 36 for it but between then I bought a turtle S5 GMTSRP 53 address KX surprise you didn’t go for the 013 Norm

@KillingTimeWithNorman 25 күн бұрын

Oh! I need to look up the 013! Thank you! 🍸🍸

@NaNByZero 28 күн бұрын

The SKX has become very expensive after it was discontinued. So I bought a Heimdallr ripoff in titanium. Very good watch. And my second real Seiko after the five sports model will be a Seiko Turtle. It will arrive next week. I hope wears not as big as it is. 🕐⚙️🍸

@KillingTimeWithNorman 28 күн бұрын

Oh I'll have to look those up! Congrats on the Turtle! 🍸🍸

@NaNByZero 24 күн бұрын

@@KillingTimeWithNormanThank you! It will arrive tomorrow. Yay! 😁

@gz7587 22 күн бұрын

So it's not a dive style, it's a legit certified drive watch. Ie "driver's" written on the dial.

no hacking or hand winding?! mineral crystal, stamped clasp. SEIKO are the kings of mediocrity.

Extra medium. Beige. Milktoast. Oatmeal. hehe 🍸🍸

Yes! I found that out after the video went out lol. This bracelet is really nice. 🍸🍸
