SEIKO SKX007 Still Relevant? PROS & CONS (SKX007J Review)

[@An9eL_C]

I bought a SKX007 back in 2008 for $180. It really was the best watch for the price. After years of daily use it finally gave in. Recently searched for one in 2020 and was surprised by how much they had increased in price. Reminds me of my Seiko Tuna Can that went from $550 to $800 over night. Just bought an open box SKX007 for $225 and is now going into my special occasion only collection, no more daily now reserved for a Casio...

[@YourAverageGent]

Haha nice man!! Yes the SKX is indeed a watch to keep for the long term! You could even pass it down to your children in the future! :)

How did it give in? Have you tried having it serviced?

I bought the SKX009 as my first automatic, and I still daily it two years later, despite buying and selling higher end Seiko divers. I wear mine on an Uncle Seiko Z199 bracelet.

[@YourAverageGent]

Nice man! The SKX series will always be a classic in anyone's watch collection :)

[@ramiller2187]

Charming thing about the SKX, it doesn’t want you to waste time winding it or setting it to the exact second. It just wants you to shake it a few times, slap it on your wrist and never take it off. It wants to be YOUR watch. Get the 009 Pepsi to go with it, and you will have the perfect 2-watch collection. Of course, I didn’t come to this realization until after I already owned 18 other watches.

Unfortunately, the original rubber strap just broke on it its own couple of days back. Hence, now i’m awaiting for new grey color rubber straps from crafterblue that i just ordered. Cant wait.......😇😇

[@Zeus-kj7nn]

They really are dark horses. A Hardlex crystal is better as a diver as it is less likely to shatter under impact like sapphire. Also, the movement is less likely to fail and succumb to rotor spin for example with no manual wind. ISO certified and a future classic. Subscribed. 👍

[@YourAverageGent]

Thanks for the great new perspectives on the SKX! Definitely will always stay a classic. Thanks for the sub I appreciate it! 😎💪

[@HRM.H]

The skx line is so diverse. I currently own a skx007 and skx031j. Two completely different watches if you have them side by side.

[@YourAverageGent]

Nice one Thomas!💪

[@Hermod_Hermit]

I imagine a person asking the same question about what we now call the Willard back in the 70's... But yes, it is very relevant and will remain so. This watch is just as iconic as the 62mas and the original Turtle, the only reason it is looked down upon is because it can still be found relatively cheaply. But in 10 years time? I imagine a decent shape SKX, not modded, will easily be above $450-500. Because it is an icon.

[@YourAverageGent]

Well said pal! 👍

[@TheHynza]

agreed. i never understood the modding hype with skx. its design is unique. i will only do some minor mods (like replacing the hardlex with sapphire, not changing the dial or hands) to preserve the original design.

[@Hermod_Hermit]

@@TheHynza Sounds just like I intend to do! And yes, all those (in most cases really bad) mods is exactly why an original shape SXK will hold a very decent value, and in fact most likely could be seen as an small investment. Way too many of these inexpensive watches has already been violently butchered by hacks, diminishing their value to scrap. As they are still available, I got a new 007J on order, which will have a flat sapphire with clear AR installed by the dealer, and will come on the original Jubilee bracelet. Sure, it costs me more now that it would have done a year ago, but I do not care. In just a couple of years time, whatever I paid for it now will be seen as a bargain. However, I have no intention of selling it, I intend to wear the cr@p out of it, having one of my nephews inherit it one day. Seiko got everything right with the SKX, even the Hardlex makes sense from a diving standpoint. I do not mind a scratched up bezel or bezel insert, but a scratched crystal irks me so much that I can step away from original. But yeah, I try to keep the original look by having a clear AR coating on the sapphire. TBH I funded this little indulgence of mine by selling a totally soulless Certina DS Action diver. It was a nice watch, surely, but it just lacks in almost every way compared to the SKX. I know, I know. The Certina is a "better" watch. Yeah, try to tell that to an audience at a watch auction in 25 years time. They will lool at ya!

[@TheHynza]

​@@Hermod_Hermit i wouldn't say seiko's hardlex crystal is easily scratchable. it is just one notch below sapphire. the problem is it catches dust and fingerprints, so it becomes dirty quickly. anyway, how much did you pay for sapphire + ar coating? enjoy your watch. also dont forget to get some straps (a rubber strap and a nato especially).

[@Hermod_Hermit]

Great video, currently for $ 400, which one would you choose the seiko orange monster 1gen or the seiko skx007?

Like you said the SKX is ISO certification, 200m, screw down crown, beautifully engraved case back with The Great Wave of Kanagawa. The new 5kx replaced this solid case back with a piece of glass and even the jingle jangle super comfy bracelet made the skx loved by so many collectors. Oh yes the movement! So the new one hacks? Why would you ever need hacking on a highly inaccurate movement? Hate to break it to you but both the 4R series and 7S26 aren’t the most accurate movements. So hacking is a moot point. Yes but you can wind the new movement! Really, you feel that having to wind the movement 30 times is faster than shaking the watch 3 times to get the 7S26 movement with the “magic lever” going is easier ? Seriously?! Yes the new 5KX may be prettier but so much has been lost. Long live the SKX.

400e is too expensive for this watch?

[@YourAverageGent]

A little too expensive but if you love the design and heritage then go for it

[@oscarherrera3755]

Don't forget about the SKX173!

[@YourAverageGent]

That’s right!💪

[@stormrider01]

I like more the SKX009.

[@YourAverageGent]

SKX009 is definitely super awesome too! :)

[@IgorGutman]

SKX-Japan is the only acceptable SKX. SKX-K is gross. That being said, I like this video, wanted to see another video with the oyster bracelet. Btw, I prefer the older oyster where the end links are not this protruding "buck tooth". If you look at the 1990s Submariner, when SKX007 was released, the Oyster bracelet was not bucktooth.

[@YourAverageGent]

Thanks man! Glad you love the SKX as much as I do! 😁

[@raymondabdon]

Only Lume Shot guy can upgrade the looks of this watch.

[@YourAverageGent]

I take that as a compliment!

[@weixiao5540]

I hope you do some daily life video, I believe that the video will be more interesting, there will be more people like.

[@YourAverageGent]

Will definitely consider doing that in the future! Stay tuned!! :D

[@gideonansah5155]

Nice video brother 👊 I appreciate your time and effort , stay bless _- in my opinion I will get Rolex Please I want you to do a video about Rolex

[@YourAverageGent]

Thanks brother I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Rolex is definitely a great choice! I will do a video about Rolex when I have the money to get it one day haha. Stay Blessed too! 👊

[@pandaofspadez09]

It dosent matter if you have a j or k it's still a 007. YEAH I SAID IT

[@YourAverageGent]

That’s right man! 💯

[@lanceorventech6129]

If Seiko has the SKX007, then Citizen has the NY0040

[@deanwaller8283]

Is it relevant? That's like asking is the Rolex explorer 1016 still relevant,....the skx will ALWAYS be relevant The end

[@YourAverageGent]

That’s right bro💪

[@zosothezephead837]

3:19 🤣

[@southerncountryboy8]

It's no longer relevant. No hacking or handwinding, and no sapphire crystal. Plus Seiko for some ridiculous reason decided to discontinue them, so they are shooting up in price.

[@YourAverageGent]

Still a classic 💪

[@harrykuo2573]

I thought that triangle at 12 o’clock was offset on my fake/junk watch. Didn’t know it was a manufactured defect. What a piece of shiet!

Bought one of these, date doesn’t change, defect, fake. Not sure, but will surely, return and never buy again.

[@YourAverageGent]
