I have pretty much lost track of how many SKX I bought, modded, and sold over the last few years, but when the music ended and they were discontinued, I wasn't happy with what I had. I reckon now might be a good time to pick one up, assuming you don;t already have five, that is. Cheers, Jody

This is the same thing that happens to cars. If you modify a car, you gain no additional resale value and in some cases, you actually lose value. When you leave an enthusiast car alone and sell it decades later, it becomes some crazy collector piece worth 3-4 times what it cost originally.

The profit margins were low on the SKX. There was no competition in the marketplace at that price point for a certified dive watch. Seiko has decided to move up market, and to let marketing take the reigns of determining their strategy in order to increase revenue. Other brands within the Seiko family are now the value leaders. The Seiko brand itself is going to come with a premium. It wasn't reasonable to expect that they would continue the SKX line forever. They have new lines of certified dive watches with enhanced features and prices to match. The discontinuation of the JDM standard bearers is the real disappointment in this realignment. You can get a functional SKX homage from long island watch. It has everything except the certification and the branding.

But I understand its popularity and how it has been a catalyst for so many in our hobby. Cheers and Happy 2021 mate!

I was late to the SKX party and didn’t fancy the prices on eBay for a secondhand piece. But after watching this video and after a bit of umming and ahing I finally caved and ordered a SKX007J from Creation Watches and I’m so glad I did! I did pay over the odds of course and the tax and import charges on top of that stung a bit but on the plus side I got a new stock SKX (mines a 2018 if I’m reading the date right) and I’m totally happy with my purchase (misaligned chapter ring and all 😂). Given the on paper dimensions I always expected a much “bigger” watch but the SKX is just so wearable. All the cliches you hear about the short lug to lug making a huge difference to the on wrist feel and presence are totally true! I actually thought they’d sent me an 013 by mistake initially! I’m really happy with mine and grateful to Jody for giving me the push I needed to finally pick one up.

Jody, so until this last video I managed to amass a watch collection of over 100 pieces (I never sell/flip what I buy, feel like I don't know how! for some reason) without ever being tempted to buy a Seiko SKX (bad experiences with the 7S26 movements). But alas, after watching your video I finally decided I was doing myself a disservice to not at least experience one and found an SKX009 new-in-box, for about $250.00USD from a dealer in Singapore on one of those terrible rubber straps (a new strap is on order from Uncle Seiko). To my surprise, I can finally see what all the fuss is about! So far, I honestly love the watch and astonishingly to me, the movement is running within about 5-10 seconds of atomic time a day (my last 7S26 was more like 40 seconds off/day). To get around the hacking I just let it run down and wait for the atomic clock to match with the seconds on the watch and just before that happens, do the "Seiko shuffle" to get the second hand moving at the exact time. Damn you, like I needed yet another watch I didn't need!

The other is mainly worn when travelling to somewhat “iffy” countries, both on the rubber strap, which I find really comfortable. Day to day is a 39mm Explorer or 43.5mm Planet Ocean, and both the SKX are as accurate as the 2 hugely expensive watches.

While I never felt drawn in, keeping one at factory spec does seem a lovely totem to this recent era of the hobby Digesting that multi-year avalanche of SKX videos did influence my purchase of a Citizen NY0040 though. Same, same but different?

Lol I got the Seiko SKX013 for Christmas from my wife (after, ahem, strong encouragement). I wanted one before they became too expensive or disappeared altogether.

A timely video. I bought a brand new SKX 009J1 Last week. I'd uhmmmmed and ahhhhd for so long I realized there was going to be a limited amount of brand new stock...and so bit the bullet. I already have a J model 007 that I've had for 12 years now...and it's still in great condition. I'd really recommend the Strapcode Angus Jubilee. It really has transformed my 007. I like the super-J too....but find the end-links on that one slightly 'chinzy'. The Angus end-links slot in the other way round (more like the original SKX stock bracelet). It really does look the absolute bollocks....and well worth the Premium over the basic super jubilee.

Jody, Great Channel! Have moded a number of SKX 009s. Now prefer the SKX 013, but can't find mod parts for the 013 from regular sources. Can you recommend sources for 013 mod parts? Thank you.

Yep still love my 007 totally unmodified. Still hanker after an NH35 with a sapphire Crystal and perhaps a lumed bezel, however just resizing a bracelet or changing a strap is my limit. Therefore where is best to pick up one? Or do the modders want one supplied etc. etc. By the way loved that mod you did Jody, I would of loved that one but think I might of had to join a queue! 😄

I don't really get why people mod those. The appeal of it back in the 90s was it was like a stripped down to just an engine with seats Honda Civic. It's purity of function is what makes it cool.

@@Anddrew914 Yeah, 99% of those kits and spoilers were purely for aesthetics and after some time was frowned upon, hence the derogatory term "ricers". A huge reason why aesthetically "clean" sports cars from that period are highly sought after nowadays.

100%. The rattly hollow bracelet, aluminum bezel insert, etc are all part of the vintage tooly charm that the SKX is obviously going for.

I purchased my first SKX in 2000, it is the North American 173 version. Been serviced once. A few years ago I purchased a new old stock 173, (I just like the dial face better than the 007.). As old as I am, I figure I’m now set for the rest of my life 😆👍.

Those inserts for the 009 you have are counterfeit Jody. You can tell by the lume pip and that Seiko has never sold OEM inserts as a replaceable part. The Seiko lume pip is actually Lumibrite enclosed in a little Hardlex capsule and designed to fit into the rear of the insert. They crank them out by the hundreds in the Philippines which is Feiko Frankenwatch Central for the SKX. You could try and pick up a genuine insert from Dagaz or buy a whole bezel with the insert already installed from Watch Parts Plaza, Watch Material, Cousins UK, or even eBay.

I picked up an SKX009J and an 013k this summer, I really like the 009, it gets a lot of wrist time, wearing it right now in fact on navy blue NATO.

Nice vid! I bought a 013 and really like it. Only thing I don't like is the high polish bezel. Looking for brushed/blasted coin edge. Can find loads for 007 but none for 013.😩

Bleach one of the Pepsi bezels you have!! I bleached my 007 black bezel and it gave me an amazing gray color and a slightly vintagey feel to it. I think I'm going to do it to my 009 too

SKX007 is always in my rotation. No mods. My 009...needs more wrist time. The style and look of it seems to me, a better fit in the summer.
