Difference are just he markings on the diall and caseback. Apparently, JDM seikos has become more sought after by collectors, which could result in them being more pricier. One example is the SKX007, the J1 version is now selling around $900 up here in Japan.
I also have a 6.5" wrist and I'm getting this version (SBDL085). How many of the links did you have to remove to make it fit perfectly on your wrist? Thanks.
Thank you. I'm getting it next week from Japan, your review really helped me to decide on it. I know it says 'Made in Japan' on the back, but do you know if the bracelet is also made in Japan? Thanks for the info, much appreciated!
Thanks for the sub. I would go out on the limb and say maybe 30 years or more. I have a solar watch that is already over 26 years old and still running. The good thing about seiko is that you can replace their rechargeable batteries.
