That’s not a 5KX that’s a dresskx. I love both watches, but it’s kind of a weird comparison. The actual 5KX would have been a better comparison.

@thetattedpharmacist3215

You probably should’ve done the actual 5KX instead of this DressKX…. Would’ve been a more comparable review…

@dank5015

Congrats, you managed to find one that looks nothing like the SKX to compare it to.

@drbobsnightmare2521

Seiko would literally die if they put sapphire and a threaded crown on this watch.

@marvean2519

I personnally don't like the 5kx dive style model. The dresskx on the other hand, pure beauty.

@dns711

I am wearing a Seiko SKX aa I type this. I couldn't stand having to shake the watch to give it power, so I midded it with a Seiko NH35. While I had it apart, I installed a sapphire crystal.

@waynesellers4078

As someone who didn't get into the hobby with an skx, I find it very difficult to pick a skx over the 5kx/dresskx. Obviously no one likes a price hike but purely on the specs I would pick the modern version every time.

@robertsanchez2358

Put the DressKX on a Strapcode bracelet, and you can argue it's a perfect watch for someone who doesn't want to get too financially deep into the hobby-but who wants something that looks nice in the office, on a date, or hanging out. It also has Seiko quality, gets respect from other watch enthusiasts, and pretty much fits everyone.

@valengreymoon5623

If Citizen could put the upgraded Miyota 8204 hand-wind / hack movement in their venerable NY0040, upping the game, I don't see why Seiko couldn't have just dropped the 4R-36 in the SKX, and kept it going, of course, at a slightly higher price. Just try to find a BNIB SKX J-model for under $500 now.

@X85283

What was the actual MSRP on an SKX? $150 was a very good "street price" but the new ones can also be found for well below MSRP as well...

@justinebodlak1373

This is a 'DressKX' so it is smaller but the 5KX is 42.5mm in diameter and 46mm lug to lug, so much more like the SKX. Not a useful comparison, I think. Nice looking watches.

@melonmate4482

I got the SRPE69 as my first automatic/mechanical watch two years ago and it brought me into watches so much. The all black dial was tacticool and stylish when I got it, not realizing I effectively chose to make this a daytime only watch by doing so. Honestly still love it despite what I know now since it did mark the start of a new journey for me.

@onewatchjustisntenough

What happened to your channel. I feel like you have transitioned into something different. Honestly I don't enjoy your reviews as much as I used to. Whatever it is you're going through I hope the old you will be back

@roninpride

You can always get an Orient.

@ewxlt

I have an SRP 777, which I love, very similar to the SKX. Bought the same street style watch because it was all black and thought it would be similar. Returned it immediately. just didn’t feel close in quality or performance.

@martinpankov2736

You won't have a misaligned bezel if there is no bezel ! 😂😂😂

@ghost96369

I’ve never though that this, or similar lines of Seiko, were the intended replacement for the SKX. I think the turtle is more like the modern-day version of the classic SKX. Seiko just need to come out and say it.

@ChrisM752

I purchased a used SKX007, the warranty card is stamped from The Time Teller in 2017. Had the 009 for years as well, great watches and value before the increase in used prices.

@rangersmith4652

The watch I bought when I decided to buy my first automatic (after discovering my grandfather's Doxa and my father's Zodiac and being bitten by the bug) was a Seiko 5: specifically, an SNK805. 7S26 movement, of course. The price was $99. Besides an early 80s quartz dress watch, this remains my only Seiko. I've never had an SKX, and now that prices are silly, I suppose I never will. I do have a Citizen EcoDrive Promaster BN0150-28E, also a 200M ISO rated diver, and a better watch in every way than the much-loved SKX.
