A New Seiko SKX Is Coming!

[@PocketUau]

€1500 SKX with mineral crystal, 6R, glossy steel insert and a hollow pressed metal clasp. Let’s goooooo 😂

[@waris3732]

You know this comment might just age well, considering the price and specs of the 62 mas reissue

[@MisterHughes]

Don't forget the misaligned chapter ring.

[@Ae073001]

And the non-signed crown.

[@Constable.Chauvin]

forgot the 50m rating

[@seikoskx]

@PocketUau no skx shake fake immatation sorry.

[@valengreymoon5623]

If a new SKX does come out, it'll be 5 times the price of the original, and no longer the entry-level piece we all loved.

[@bigsmooshflopdong33]

Many things are multiples of the price of what things were in the 90s, hell my rent has doubled in 5 years....... welcome to the times.

[@valengreymoon5623]

I'm just guess-timating, since Seiko does have a habit of re-issuing things that were once very affordable, as "limited editions", at much higher prices. The 62-MAS, and 6105 "Willard", just as examples.

[@TheJoel1892]

Exactly...just look at the prices of the recent Seiko 5 reissues

The Samurai is one of the most underrated Seikos IMO.

[@GMan-kn2lj]

The samurai is my personal favourite 🫡

[@TheStumpy3496]

Bought one after watching this, love it. My only other Seiko was a military style basic 5. That put me off Seikos as it's a bit tinny. But the Samurai is in a different league....

[@ramblin1209]

OMG! I just grabbed a new old stock SKX007 before they are gone. Now I have the 009j and the 007 😎. I hope to give them to my kids when they get older.

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Superb!!!!

[@macguyverson9370]

I was thinking of doing the same thing or a used one. I’ve never had one, but do have an Islander. I’d buy a new one if they make one.

[@vudusid8717]

Can I ask how much you payed for the 007?

[@ramblin1209]

@@vudusid8717 $474 USD shipped to US from CreationWatches a grey market dealer that is well known by the watch community. Shipped to me in about 4 days. It's a little more than I wanted to pay but I wanted new and have had good experience with this vendor in the past. After they were discontinued they were around 300 ish USD.

So this is sooooo way off topic.. but my wife has been catching me watching your videos after our kids go to bed as of recent. As I'm breaking up a lil herbal remedy for the night cap, if you will. She notices your accent every time, and can tell I'm watching a video of yours. (She refers to you, as the guy with the tiny hand. Because of that lil interlude you put in and say "hello"). Well she started noticing you say YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS at the beginning of each video. For some reason she asked me why you do it, and I told her you're just an eccentric gentleman who's passionate about watches. Well now.. for some reason. Everytime I have to say yes to my wife.. I say it exactly like you, and it drives her absolutely mad. And I love it. But now I've almost done it at work, and have had to dial it back a bit. Thank you for being awesome. I appreciate every time you upload a video. Cheers!

[@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR]

Ryan!!! Absolutely loved this comment thank you! I honestly don’t know why I do it just came to me! Now I have to do it every time!!!! It’s like Jody’s HELLOOOOOO! Anyway the next time I do it next week I’m gonna think about Ryan’s wife! I might put a few more YYYYYYYYYUU’s in just for her! All the very best to you and your family!!!

[@itsallrobbish]

A great channel, as ever. Regarding the military and watches, I get the dirty Dozen and seeing action, but in reality, the G shock has at least the heritage of any of the Dirty Dozen......just later. I bought a DW-5200 G shock (Square as they are now known) in 1984, just before I joined the RAF. This has gone to a few Out of Area Ops (OOA) audit has had to deal with sand, sand more sand, plus taking the vibration of working with machinery, firearms and several types of aircraft, diving alongside the SBS.....and I was just a photographer!, I dread to think what the G-shocks owned by Special Operatives went through! As you stated, the bog standard DW5600 is an issue watch for the Space Stations spinning over our good earth. I'm amazed the the British Forces don't just issue them to all armed forces personnel as they do boots, Bergens and berets. Brilliant watches. Keep up the great work.

[@garethsigrist8714]

A bit of Q&A from the MWC! Really enjoyed this little peek behind the curtain and understanding more about the how and why of what makes you tick.

[@eugenevedensky6071]

Russ as a musician I gotta say, your multi discipline approach is super inspiring. I find taking time from one creative outlet for another often leads to falling back in love with the former

[@thetattedpharmacist3215]

I think the question about JDM was more leaning towards JDM exclusive models too. Some of those that the rest of the world don’t get are bangers!

Oh boy just when i was about to take a break on new watch purchases

[@Olddirtytiger]

[@TheAirmacguy]

Yes I agree with Pagani watches. There were my gateway watches into the hobby the last two years. Don’t get me wrong I buy one if it’s a good deal but, I owned 12 lol, I sold 10 and the little I got in return I bought a Hamilton field khaki and also Seiko SSK023. However, I still buy a homage but the goal is one day get the real deal 👍 but I enjoyed my cheap thrill ride

[@Dadication3]

Excellent once again Russ, I understand about the algorithm, but could have been twice as long to get more in, or maybe a round two, Samurai is a great recommendation, such a good fit and rad case, but man that kanji day on JDM models is very cool and adds value for me, my SBSA223 is one example, and actually the SRPE05J1 has no alignment issues compared to the K1’s I have seen.

[@geraldacevedo2003]

I just bought the original skx007k1 as a nostalgia piece. The timing of this event is impeccable 😅

[@jamesevans3257]

[@CACOPHONIE]

What you think about the new Casio MRG-B2100 ?

[@pk1342]

I think if it does come it will be priced in the SRPE/SRPL price range - 4r movement with a hardlex and maybe an upgraded "king" version with sapphire and ceramic. So my guess is a about £400-500 for thr vasic and £600 for the ceramic/sapphire edition.

I always thought "JDM" stood for "Japanese domestic Market" meaning the watch was only sold in Japan for the Japan market and not offered for sale in the US or Europe ect.

[@MyWatchChannel]

You are correct.. what he was talking about was say SKX007 vs SKX007J1 J1 indicating a “made in Japan” Seikos without j1 or “made in Japan” on the dial are assembled in korea I believe… I think he just confused what the question was… JDM is Japanese domestic market only=that watch was made for the Japanese market.

A quick correction if i may… JDM is not that its made in Japan … its that is made in japan for the japan market ONLY! GS did one that was a USA release only and they do many iterations of watches that only release here in japan… such as the SARA15 that has a a first credor movement that gets mounted via the face of the watch. Citizen has done this extensively with their high end watches and mostly comes from the car world were there were cars that toyota and nissan as example would only release in japan with certain specs not available anywhere else. If its jdm its better in my eyes… because its only released here… now days you can buy jdm via sites like sakura.

[@barrettwbenton]

Whoo…cool Q&A! Regarding a "limited edition" SKX(ish) release: I truly can't see the point. Seiko gets enough grief with a number of of their limited releases, but a limited SKX, with all the upgraded bits suggested by you, would end up as…not particularly true/relevant to the OG's history and cachet, and the likely price they'd ask for it would have people reaching for their pitchforks and torches. And it would be competing with the standard-issue Prospex Turtle, which is available damned near everywhere for well under US$400. Better that they get on with a possible Anniversary recreation of the 6139 chronograph, where (assuming they did it right) a heavy-ish price tag could be justified.

[@anonimushbosh]

JDM is a reference to models only on sale in Japan regardless where they were manufactured. And obviously they can & often do have a special appeal.

[@hudldevice1092]

Exactly. I have that Steeldive Willard model and the Steeldive SKX007 homage. Both are far better value than the Seiko alternative and the SKX007 model has far better specs than the original Seiko SKX. And they have Seiko movements anyway, so are just as reliable.

The SKX is not the start of that design. It's a 1978 watch, originally with the 7548-700. The SKX is the third or fourth generation of that case style. 2028 marks the 50th anniversary.
