That’s fantastic you managed to pick one up before the prices went up. The SKX is a legend and definitely worth owning. Congrats on owning a bit of history
Excellent video. My interest in watches arrived after the heyday of the SKX, so my first was an SRPD51K2 or better known as 5kx, with 100m water resistance. Apart from that it looks the same, and has the NH36. I do have a Mako XL orange bezel with the non handwinding movement which I love, so it wouldn't bother me. The SKX is still an iconic piece and well done for getting one at a good price. I've seen pristine ones here in Europe for €400 which is $485! It's just too much and it's not worth that price. The price you paid is very fair.
