I have pretty much lost track of how many SKX I bought, modded, and sold over the last few years, but when the music ended and they were discontinued, I wasn't happy with what I had. I reckon now might be a good time to pick one up, assuming you don;t already have five, that is. Cheers, Jody
It now makes total sense as to why I am being tagged in watch pictures on Instagram, being added by people I don’t know on Facebook who are sending me messages telling me they’re subscribed to my channel and sending me pictures of watches! Hello my fellow Jody Musgrove!
I’m very happy with my SKX007 on the jubilee. It will never leave my collection
Interesting. People used to buy them just to mod. Now they'll buy them to absolutely never mod!
This is the same thing that happens to cars. If you modify a car, you gain no additional resale value and in some cases, you actually lose value. When you leave an enthusiast car alone and sell it decades later, it becomes some crazy collector piece worth 3-4 times what it cost originally.
Good point, who wants a modded 6309, you would want a nice example of an all original.
That was before they almost tripled in price. Idk why though. I just bought the Heimdallr SKX instead.
Really want double dome for seiko padi turtle! But para to try. Still it is worth doing if no box or anything to say real. But it is. Also sapphire domes blue on it is going to cost know if I try buy it as brexit laws come in.
I only mod something I don't intend to sell and watches of this price range aren't an investment. Watches like this are meant to be used, loved and worn daily.
This watch is like the Honda Civic. Relatively inexpensive, performs well, runs forever, tons of mods for it, then you sell it....then want to buy one again...lol
Seiko's master plan is a $5000 sapphire crystal SKX limited edition reissue followed by a $1000 SKProspeX
With a misaligned bezel
@@yuvalsheer that's how you know it's genuine Seiko
I have one they can buy to get started.
and don't forget the cheaper version will be 4mm larger
With misaligned bezel,chapter ring and no regulation.
I think unmodded versions are going to become rare. It's like with old cars, if you want a stock one it's hard to find.
just keep all the stock parts after mod
I just saw 5 skx013 in a mall. In my country a 100 USD watch is already considered expensive but if ever people decide to buy one they will choose a DW, Fossil, or MK. over seiko.
You should get it bc they are going for around $500.bc they’ve been discounted and the demand is high. I wish I was in your country and could buy it or buy all their stock and flip easy.
I bought my SKX007 three years ago for the holidays and it’s been my daily wear watch. Love it’s versatility, far from perfect watch. Might have paid $250 for it at the time
Never had one. Certainly don't want one at that price.
Yup, not a fan of the painted indices frankly. The Orient Kamasu at $200 trumps this big time imo.
@@OmarZ77 To me the Orient options are a much better bet. I have one of their original sub homages, a baby sat diver and a bonkers mForce Bravo.
I honestly don't think you're missing out. I found the 7s26 movement extremely inaccurate.
Bought a new 007 4 years ago. Kept it less than six months. Replaced it with an Orient Ray 2. Much better watch, and much more reasonably priced
I've never got the appeal of the SKX really. But I'm quite picky with divers. Preferences aside it just never looked like a well spec'd for the money watch to me. 🤷♂️
I have two new ones, boxed up, sitting in a corner of the cupboard. I'll be retiring on the profits in about 65 years.
@Glenn Braddhaw see me in a decade or two and I'll sell you the 009 or the 007 for a very good price :)
@@eslideit .
@Glenn Braddhaw an offer I can't refuse?
me too! A few years back for about $150
It’s still a mystery to me why they’d discontinue such a popular watch…
Easy, because it was hard to overprice it.
Because they could make a simpler version that would sell better, the 5KX.
@@Agrippa31BC it is overpriced now man...500$ CAD, a big NO for me!!!
It's been produced since the mid 90s hence the discontinuation of it, plentiful in south east asia and in the second hand market though. It's that every "Asian-Uncle's-watch" type of thing really.
The profit margins were low on the SKX. There was no competition in the marketplace at that price point for a certified dive watch. Seiko has decided to move up market, and to let marketing take the reigns of determining their strategy in order to increase revenue.
Other brands within the Seiko family are now the value leaders. The Seiko brand itself is going to come with a premium. It wasn't reasonable to expect that they would continue the SKX line forever. They have new lines of certified dive watches with enhanced features and prices to match.
The discontinuation of the JDM standard bearers is the real disappointment in this realignment. You can get a functional SKX homage from long island watch. It has everything except the certification and the branding.
Bought a SKX007J earlier this month April 2024 first and now a SKX009J coming in mail in a few weeks. Now having owned and worn the 007J for a few times, I am in love with it and am completely happy to have it now in my possession.
Mate, 2020 has been a crazy year for all and a tough one for me. You’ve done an amazing job of keeping me and many others entertained through these weird times. Keep up the fantastic work. You’ve got no idea how much some of us appreciate your vids.
I bought my 7548-7000 quartz in Sydney 1985. From memory they didn't have any automatics in the store at the time, so I purchased the quartz. Still goes like a dream. Never been serviced, just battery changes. I love it because it was the first watch I bought. I've always loved Seiko watches. Love your channel.
I will never sell my SKX009, it was one of my first auto, it's a relevant piece, it's iconic, and it's....mmmMMMMINEE! MY PRECIOUSSS!
I'm still beyond happy that I was able to get my SKX013 from creation watches for $170 in December of '18. The prices are absurd now! That being said, it's a timeless series :)
I've spent way too much money on watches this year... Jody has had alot to do with it. Been on the fence about the skx for ages but finally pulled the trigger because of this video. Just purchased from the website he mentioned, could only find a discount code for 7% but it saves you $29 on the 007 so not bad. Manontime is the code. All the best everyone and thank you Jody 😊⌚👍🏻
Thanks for the code, pushed me over the edge (009J). My first auto was a 009J a couple years ago, sold in the ensuing time as I moved around the watch world. There are certainly better watches out there (and I have some) but there's a nice nostalgic tug here that couldn't be resisted. Don't know it will get worn much, but will be fun to have in the box and cheap enough for occasional wear.
@@drewjfrink Nice man! No worries, glad it could help someone. This will be my first skx but I've heard so much about it that it feels like an old friend already haha. The modding side to this watch has reeeaaalllyyy caught my eye lately so we'll see if I leave it untouched 😅
@@ObiMunn They do have a special feel, even with all their issues. Enjoy! Mine will stay stock, unless I have to have any QC issues addressed -- in that case it'll probably get a flat sapphire and NH36 while in there. Plenty of good folks out there to do the mods reliably for folks like me that are not cut out to be watchmakers.
I had Seiko SKX007. But i gave it to my father as a gift. He is very happy. I bought for myself Citizen NY0040 Promaster. And I am happy. Its built like a tank!
I'd go with Citizen Promaster instead (either Eco or automatic) of SKX. No misaligned bezels and better QC.
Agree bought the Citizens promaster absolutely love it 🎄
Thirded. The eco is what the SKX used to be. It's actually better than what the SKX used to be. A real dive watch under $200. And this is coming from a Seikophile.
My story is similar to yours. I've had many in the past, but this month ended up buying an SKX009J on a rubber strap. We human beings always prefer what is hard to get.
I don't really get why people mod those. The appeal of it back in the 90s was it was like a stripped down to just an engine with seats Honda Civic. It's purity of function is what makes it cool.
People put wings and body kits on stripped down Honda civics. *Shrug*
@@Anddrew914 Yeah, 99% of those kits and spoilers were purely for aesthetics and after some time was frowned upon, hence the derogatory term "ricers".
A huge reason why aesthetically "clean" sports cars from that period are highly sought after nowadays.
100%. The rattly hollow bracelet, aluminum bezel insert, etc are all part of the vintage tooly charm that the SKX is obviously going for.
I love how the intro is getting louder and more enthusiastic each time!
HEEELLLLLLOOO!!!! 🤩
Feedback loop is an excellent description of the modern influencer based economy! I'm working on a low- sarcasm comment that doesn't include lemmings or sheep...
I own an all original Seiko 4205-015B bidirectional bezel roughly 38mm, the tiny movement is automatic, it was intended for woman but suits my wrist. I love it because they are all gone, wrecked...or aftermarketed disgraced, So yes, save the Skx and 7002, 6309 and 6105 are pretty expensive so are quite safe. Well done Jody.
there is still the citizen ny0040. certified, 200$ range, japanese panty markers included.
bought mine way after the skx and actually prefer it.
Yes I agree, but still occasionally think of re buying the 009
At this money I'm into the NY007x Titanium autos... even with the rotor hiss, such a nice thing. Had an NY0076-10EE for a year now
modding a stock skx is akin to sacrilege and nothing a mod does will ever outdo just how cool the original is. you at least got a j model and nothing beats made in japan on the dial. $400 to $500 aud is still great buying for a classic seiko. enjoyed the video as usual. cheers and all the best for 021 :)
I love the skx design! I just wish it came with the better movement, sapphire crystal, and a nice lumed bezel. I think I’m going for a Long Island watch version where the mods are already in place. Great video as always!!!
Had the SKX 007J and it was a ‘lume saber’!! Have moved on and now own the Seiko Arnie and the Seiko Irish Coffee limited edition.
I really like the old background.
Well, I sold it for $50, so you missed the boat on that one mate!
I’ve got to say i way prefer the new one, much cleaner and tidier
@@jancovanderwesthuizen8070 I agree
@@JustOneMoreWatch Sounds good. I regret even mentioning it. It’s your show. I appreciate your videos.
I am right now wearing the gorgeous SEIKO SKX009 PEPSI dial with the original jubilee bracelet & completely loving it !!!
My first SKX was a 009 bought new. Then I saw the 007, sold the 009 and got a great deal on a 007 from the bay like new with box and papers. Regulated the 007 and today it keeps fantastic time gaining only a few seconds a week after more than 15 years. The watch is a legend, but there's a lot of competition now.
I'm so glad I got a slightly used one in mint condition, which came with an new unused Strapcode Oyster bracelet for less than half of that price a year ago. Great video as usual, Jody and Happy New Year!
The value going forward will be for near mint unmolested models. A mate of mine buys sporty cars that are popular with the modding crowd. He drives and enjoys them but keeps them totally stock. 5-10 years later when he comes to sell, he literally has people asking him to name his price as they all want one that's totally stock and hasn't been screwed up.
So they can mod it themselves lol.
SKX's are like chocolate chip cookies... one is NEVER enough! Happy modding.
Picked up an skx009j this summer before they were gone as I’d given my 2001 sxk007k to my brother.👍
SKX007 is always in my rotation.
No mods.
My 009...needs more wrist time.
The style and look of it seems to me, a better fit in the summer.
Love this vid! I properly got into collecting like a year ago, and the SKX was one of the first pieces I wanted. I’ve been watching the prices spiking on them with horror. Finally picked up a second hand 007 for $300 Aussie just yesterday. Stoked!
Never heard a pepsi bezel called cheezy. I think its charming
I think they look don’t look good but “cheesy” isn’t how I’d demean them.
The gateway drug watch.. The 009 is my personal favourite. I got it and all hell broke loose. I now have a bunch of divers but my 009 is still my beater and it always will be!
I knew there was a reason I was still awake at 3am.
Its the best time for crypto market pumps and dumps. Look into Polkadot crypto thank me later.
My first automatic watch I bought 3 years ago, it was an SKX, mostly based on your recommendations, (I have not been disappointed). Then an SNA411, then a Vostok... Love the channel, the content and my SKX... 😁
I'd swap the original insert back. The two tone bezel is an iconic look. I was wearing it a little over a year ago and someone completely random can shouted at me at a restaurant "is that an SKX?" It will grow on you.
I remember in the early 2000s when new SKXs were selling for around US$120. Bought my first two (173 and 007) used on Ebay in about '04. One was about $75, the other was $57. My first new one was $99 shipped...on the bracelet! Man, these things used to be CHEEEEAP.
Those days are loooooong gone. But I think over the years I have acquired one of each (007, 007J, 009, 009J, A35, 011J, very rare 011K, 173), so I am set.
I sold my SKX007J1 for an SKX399 in a very acceptable condition and haven't looked back since. An SKX is really a must-have.
I would love one for nostalgia purposes. But $300 can buy you a great watch nowadays. I'll just have to refer back to your videos when I miss it! lol
or you know... just get an Islander "SKX" that already has the most important mods, and add your own finishing touches...
I hear good things about the Islanders!
@@JustOneMoreWatch Hit Mark up @islander. I mentioned your channel to him. Hes a super nice guy. It would be so cool if your channel did a few shows with Mark and the Urban Gentry. My top 3 Watch channels
@@dj_ath That would be great !
Not if you're in Europe. The added tax makes it a horrendous deal.
@@JustOneMoreWatch or get a steeldive homage number!
Buy yourself an Island Watch Co. watch. SKX is a thing of the past. Great video 👍
The 007 j is a classic. Congrats!
Well thank you Sir, just spent another 270$ on a watch, even though I tried not to buy any this year... Almost made it, thanks a lot :)
I was about to sell my skx007 and 009...not anymore though after watching this video. Will keep in my collection abit longer and who knows, maybe they will end up staying in my collection forever
Jody, THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT VIDEO, it really touched my heart. I'm the guy from Zelos group with the beautiful, but badly adjusted green Willard. Yes, the SKX is great and I've got 2. One is standard out of the box and one with NH36, sapphire, Strapcode Angus :-) .
I have or had everything, from Vostok to Daytona, but 2 watches will remain: my SKX 009 and my Kermit. I'm looking out for your next video, have a nice save and healthy 2021. Kindest regards, Uwe
Such a awesome seiko watch. Iv noticed they have really gone up in price. It doesn't surprise me it's a iconic watch.
A timely video. I bought a brand new SKX 009J1 Last week. I'd uhmmmmed and ahhhhd for so long I realized there was going to be a limited amount of brand new stock...and so bit the bullet. I already have a J model 007 that I've had for 12 years now...and it's still in great condition. I'd really recommend the Strapcode Angus Jubilee. It really has transformed my 007. I like the super-J too....but find the end-links on that one slightly 'chinzy'. The Angus end-links slot in the other way round (more like the original SKX stock bracelet). It really does look the absolute bollocks....and well worth the Premium over the basic super jubilee.
I never had a taste for divers until recently, and have come to appreciate the SKX. Even though there are 'better' options for the money, the SKX is still the original. So, in 2022, I've ordered a new SKX009J, which will be my first SKX. I'll be keeping it original, save for a nice Strapcode bracelet instead of the supplied rubber strap. Am I crazy? Probably! Do I care? Not a bit!
Well, I bought an SKX007J with Strapcode Jubilee bracelet. It's class, so yeah, we're both mental!!
If you haven’t got your one, get one while you still can along with any SARB 033/035 you can get your grubby mits on - happy new year x
Watch geeks know that SKX is an icon that will never be replaced by anything, even with more superior homages.
SKX is the grandfather of entry level dive watch, a true icon, despite of its outclass spec. Therefore, I will never mod my SKX.
Same here 👍👍
Whoaa, got scratch on the crystal, think to replace it with sapphire? Is it wise move?
Tried one on the rubber strap, most uncomfortable strap ever. Anything would be an improvement
Same with the SRPD61K. Almost regretted buying it, changed to a different rubber strap, and it made a world of difference.
Do I have the Vostok strap for you
@@georgecostanza2157 since then I acquired a Seiko SNZH55 K1 which only looks like a diver but comes with a nice steel bracelet
Favorite affordable watch. Sad its gone
I bought 3 brand new....Sold 2 and 1's a keeper!
You inspired me to throw on my good old 7J, and on the stock rubber no less. Has the sturdy charm of an old tire swing.
Those inserts for the 009 you have are counterfeit Jody. You can tell by the lume pip and that Seiko has never sold OEM inserts as a replaceable part. The Seiko lume pip is actually Lumibrite enclosed in a little Hardlex capsule and designed to fit into the rear of the insert. They crank them out by the hundreds in the Philippines which is Feiko Frankenwatch Central for the SKX. You could try and pick up a genuine insert from Dagaz or buy a whole bezel with the insert already installed from Watch Parts Plaza, Watch Material, Cousins UK, or even eBay.
I think I'll try and get a two tone ceramic lumed from lcbi for the eventual mod Steven. And yes, Philippines from memory!
I purchased my first SKX in 2000, it is the North American 173 version. Been serviced once. A few years ago I purchased a new old stock 173, (I just like the dial face better than the 007.). As old as I am, I figure I’m now set for the rest of my life 😆👍.
Good decision and pickup. I’ve got a stock SKX007 (as well as a SXK009) in my collection and it will stay original. I enjoy wearing it this way. Nice video. 👍
I would get a turtle for basically the same price. Same divers 200m, better movement, higher quality dial, supposedly better bezel action and a really comfortable rubber strap.
I would try a blue sapphire bezel on the 009 to bring out the navy dial... If you don't like the pepsi look
I was late to the SKX party and didn’t fancy the prices on eBay for a secondhand piece. But after watching this video and after a bit of umming and ahing I finally caved and ordered a SKX007J from Creation Watches and I’m so glad I did!
I did pay over the odds of course and the tax and import charges on top of that stung a bit but on the plus side I got a new stock SKX (mines a 2018 if I’m reading the date right) and I’m totally happy with my purchase (misaligned chapter ring and all 😂).
Given the on paper dimensions I always expected a much “bigger” watch but the SKX is just so wearable. All the cliches you hear about the short lug to lug making a huge difference to the on wrist feel and presence are totally true! I actually thought they’d sent me an 013 by mistake initially!
I’m really happy with mine and grateful to Jody for giving me the push I needed to finally pick one up.
I starting collecting with a "Budget" Seiko, the SNK809, and almost gave up on automatics before I really got started. It was worse in every way than the Citizen Eco-Drives I had been wearing for over a decade. I bought the 809 because RUclips told me it was the perfect starter automatic.... Never again.
I understand why RUclipsrs talk about the SKX, but the whole hype thing with the 809 has me instinctively pulling back anytime I see the watch world universally praise a watch now.
I've the snk803 (just a different color), I'm using it every day since 3 years now, no problems at all. What's up with yours?
Some watches just give views more than others and ytubers can't stop rambling about them.
That skx is a terrible piece of metal that rattles on a bracelet. You can't even hand whine them.
I don't get it.
For 300-400$ there is a whole world of good watches.
@@reveme My problem with it is it felt cheap, kept poor time, and in reality looked cheap. I get that it is cheap, but the way it was praised I expected more.
Rather than being a good starter auto, it was a good starter watch for someone who hasn't been wearing a watch. My Citizens looked better, felt better, and had better specs apart for the crystal(also mineral).
I bought a Hamilton and have never seriously considered a Seiko again.
@@Furniture121 Hamilton is on another league for sure, well done.
My Seiko is cheap but mighty for the price.
I've spent 50€ for my Seiko and 10€ for a nato strap, my watch keep a good time (always +-10sec around the correct time. I keep it in sync) and I'm good with it.
Enjoy your Hamilton 👍
That’s the first thing I noticed!! The beautiful orange SQUALE hand!
the Japan model SKX was never available on a bracelet, it was always on the rubber strap. Only the K models had the choice of the two strap options. Bought my 007J in 2004 and I'm very pleased that I did then! Still my favourite watch despite now having a lovely Omega Seamaster and many many others!
Meh watch, too much hype makes it waay overpriced.
But such a nice watch to wear, so comfy on the jingly jangly jubilee!
@@JustOneMoreWatch More comfortable than a turtle on the same strap?
Meh? You clearly got shit taste mate. One of the most iconic watches of all time.
@@miked6367 You have a shit opinion that's been groomed by the wisdom of a crowd of watch _idiot_ savants. Buy a Turtle, buy a Samurai, buy a Hemidallar or a Sharkey or a Steeldive. Don't buy _anything_ with a 7S62. It's not 1994 anymore, there are better movements on the market.
Crafter blue make a lovely strap for the 007
I am happy to have a 009 in the collection.
Same, I have my 009j, unmolested and un modified , I threw out that garbage rubber band. I feel like even with some scratches I can always sell for a bargain. Or swap out the movement with my Hulkkx
I bought one SKX 009J from ebay brand new for 269€ in 2020 and the cool thing is that looking to the serial number it seems to be that the watch was made in the last month of manufacture date in 2019 before they discontinued it. That's a nice thing.👌
YUM!
My 007s, or the one that is working on its slinky Jubi isda sheeee!!!!
All My dead ones have so many classic momentos I hope to bring Em back to life or pass Them on, along with the good luck and great times that We shredded through, Oh Yeeeeaaa!
Great stuff JOMW.
Orient Kamasu on a rubber strap is only $170. Or an homage with saphire, nh36, solid end links and solid clasp for $150. Just doesn’t have the Seiko name.
Have an SKX 007,009. Love them both
I have a stock SKX009 on the jubilee, SARB035, and a SARB017. Guess I'll wait for my million dollar windfall lol.
I just bought mine mid december 2020 at a very reasonable price from creation watches ;-) I also bought the J-model.
Buy an Islander, it's an SKX with everything Seiko should have done. Saphire crystal, Ceramic or Saphire bezel, signed crown, Seiko movement with hand winding and hacking. Loads of choices to choose from at all around $300. Talk to Mark and he might be able to cut you a deal to offset import duty. I love mine and wear it more than my Rolex Sub. A real tool watch you can just forget about and not worry about anyone eyeing to nick.
Great review👍, I have a SKX013, it's a great watch and never off my wrist..😊
You could always wear it on your ankle like a back up time piece😂
I picked up an SKX009J and an 013k this summer, I really like the 009, it gets a lot of wrist time, wearing it right now in fact on navy blue NATO.
Jody, a totally mad video. Given the truly strange 2020, your madness is well received. Thanks, mate.
Good NewYears drinking game. Every time he say SKX YOU TAKE A SHOT.
Let me know if you survive that game haha 😂
I'm relieved to hear that you have also bought your SKX007J1 at the same price and seller as I have after I've read some awful reviews of Creation Watches.. Im expecting to receive mine in 5 very long days. I can't wait!! Cheers
Lol I got the Seiko SKX013 for Christmas from my wife (after, ahem, strong encouragement). I wanted one before they became too expensive or disappeared altogether.
For me the skx173 still has the best dial. Sad they never put it on other skx models.
I have an islander as well as two SKX007J1. The Islander is fine but it's not a Seiko. It just doesn't have the same feel to it. One SXK is stock, the other has Sapphire and ceramic Bezel. It's just a great wearing watch.
Had one sold it, regretted selling it so bought a Citizen NY0400 and glad i did. No need to re-buy the SKX the Citizen is miles better imo.
Wow before even clicking this review I just re purchased an SKX009. Great minds eh? Let's hope it comes soon! I missed it!
I have two, first bought in 2012, second when I heard a rumour they were going to discontinue it. One lives in my dive bag as a back up as I won’t dive relying on just an electronic dive computer. The other is mainly worn when travelling to somewhat “iffy” countries, both on the rubber strap, which I find really comfortable. Day to day is a 39mm Explorer or 43.5mm Planet Ocean, and both the SKX are as accurate as the 2 hugely expensive watches.
Jody , happy new year to you and thank you for all your generosity and superb work all year. I feel like I spent it with you!
Wish we in the US Did this Pass the Parcel Game. I heard about it on a channel called Lost in the Pond. They do it at Birthday Parties for Kids. Wrap a box in Layers and pass it. And the lucky one who unwraps the last layer wins.
My 013 came in in March this year, modded ( I would prefer to say ‚pimped‘) with NH 36, flat sapphire ( no coating), fully lumed bezel insert in red/blue, signed crown and Strapcode jubilee. Price point incl. labour cost ( I keep my hands off!) ca.
€ 650.-, $ 530.- at the current exchange rate. Not bad.
I bought my Turtle J a few years ago as it was on sale and not much more than the SKX, but the SKX has such a wonderful face that it's faults seem to melt away. I will get one at some point.
Like you I got rid of the rubber strap immediately and bought the Seiko bracelet but was bitterly disappointed with how cheap it feels. Uncle Seiko make an amazing curved waffle strap which will be staying on my SKX for the rest of it’s life
Vostok....all I can think of...just modded, well fitted a new Barton silicon strap (baby steps people, baby steps) to my latest one. This 'modding' IS JODY'S FAULT. I am now giddy with excitement waiting for the next Vostok to be delivered.
All three of your SKXes look almost the same now, it would be awesome if you'd do something really colourful and or funky with the one you are modding. Orange? Burgundy? Gold? Something like that.
One of your best. Thank you!
I SWORE I was going to leave my 009 un-modded. I didn't leave my 009 un-modded.
