I don't know whether to be proud or just sad that I've owned 4 SKXs and flipped them all. A great watch that will be missed, but I could never fall in love with the movement and QC issues. I'm sure Seiko will release a reissue in 20 years for $6,000.

But honestly, when you talk about “building an SKX from the ground up” with all these different parts, it really isn’t an SKX. It’s a dive style watch. An SKX is stock, with few if any enhancements. Otherwise, it’s a mod watch. That’s my take.
@emiltennismethod8544
@emiltennismethod8544 5 лет назад
I agree, maybe just replace the crystal to a sapphire and put a ceramic bezel insert, that keeps the original look 👀 that’s what I did with mine and will be selling it actually.

All marketing like they did with removing the original Coke. A year from know "due to overwhelming enthusiast demand" Seiko announces we are bring back the SKX007 v2 with hacking and winding, and sapphire crystal.

Say it isn't so! I love my SKX! The problem is there is really no adequate replacement for it from Seiko. Certainly not in the Seiko 5 lineup. Those aren't "real" dive watches. They are posers. Why not improve the SKX instead of discontinuing it!

What? You think people from the dive community wear the SKX to dive with? They don’t. Everybody who is up in arms over this is a watch enthusiast. I can take a Casio GW5610 out on a dive and does the same job better. There are four methods of timing your air supply on pretty much any G-Shock model. The idea of using an analoge watch to time a dive in 2019 is hilarious. People from the dive community who own SKX’s take them off to dive. The ISO thing is nonsense. The watch is over engineered and four years ago you could pick them up for 140 euros. It’s only now that people want them because they are about to stop production. The mod market is almost exclusive to the US. You can’t get the mods done in Europe at a decent price. You are more likely to see a 30 something wearing a mod version of the SKX that they purchased second hand on eBay. Seiko know this. Seiko see the mod market as access to the younger market, hence the new launch under the Seiko 5 brand. You can now purchase a brand new modified looking SKX descendant in Europe at an affordable price. And that’s what the younger market wants. Welcome to supply and demand desk boy diver.

@Inkushu
@Inkushu 5 лет назад
this is the first watch i felt comfortable opening up to see what automatics were all about. Even a simple fix like removing dust from the dial or tightening the rotor made me feel extremely careful, all-while enjoying the process. My pepsi bezel skx175 has faded with use and sun exposure. you're correct though, yobokies and the aftermarket will keep this watch relevant. I may have to look into the crystal times cases and such.

It's still a loss for the true Seiko enthusiasts. And the new "5KX" are hot garbage fashion watches. Hardly a fitting end to the lineage of watches that started with the 62mas.
@oes2546
@oes2546 5 лет назад
How the hell are they fashion watches? Because they are marketed towards younger people? The main difference is WR enough swimming instead of diving, no screw down crown, and a lower retail price than the SKX. Do you dive with your SKX?
@M3LTUP

I ummed and arrghed recently about getting an SKX but couldn't bring myself to pay the inflated prices being asked now. No more non-hacking movements for me. Decided instead on the new 'save the oceans' great white turtle (SRPD21K), and haven't regretted that decision since making it.

I would love a full size SKX for myself, too bad with my small wrist i can only afford to wear an skx013. Last year i built one with nh36, sapphyre and lumed ceramic bezel. But full sized SKXs have way more parts available.
@xpusostomos
@xpusostomos 5 лет назад
Turtle is ok, though not a huge fan of the pincushion. It's really cool you can build an SKX but it's a real setback for the modding community that you soon can't get an SKX and start from there. I don't know, maybe the SKX replacement will be good enough, but lack of a screw crown is a real bummer for me.

yes, no need to lose any sleep over this. there can be new skxs to be had for a long while from plenty of sources. and, u can probably build a better one for a decent price.. which would make sense as building one from genuine seiko parts without aftermarkret upgrades could cost nearly as much anyways, so why not build a better skx while you're at it? but, again, it should not be hard to source an original new skx for some time still.
