It's too steep IMO. <Link>
Perhaps the one you saw is a rarer variant?


Going for vintage Seikos now huh?

List Price for SKX007 from authorized Thong Sia Seiko dealers is RM 1145.00
Discount? Depends on the dealers and buyer bargaining skills.

The latest SKX007K2 with 24j 7S26. With a good discount, no difference with the previous version.

Congrats. Nice catch.

The original brown strap looks best since it matches nicely with the green dial.

Mine says hi.

It isn't numbered, so its a limited production run edition. I think they will produce it for at least a year before stopping production.

If it really bothersome, send it to Thong Sia SC. It's a quick easy fix. The same also applies if the date does not change exactly at midnight. Just bring along the warranty card and receipt (just in case).

I haven't a V175 movement yet. Why don't you get it checked at Thong Sia SC?

Nice. I have a 7T92 as well. Time to get more Seiko watches.
Perhaps a mechanical one?
Itching to get one. I'll try to upstage sniper on the roof. j/k

I was just teasing...

Yes, the strap looks great and matches the watch nicely. A pleasant color combination.
My first ever Seiko wristwatch has a green dial too.

No la.... Still need to get a few more... at least another dozen.
How about this one as your next target?


I digress a bit.
Regarding typoon Soulik, how's the condition in your area? Has the storm passed?

In the beginning, if I recall correctly, you didn't like the SNZG especially the '5' logo either.
Now, you are lowyat.net unofficial Seiko SNZG ambassador.

Over time, you may like it. After all, "Tak kenal maka tak cinta."
I wasn't aware of that. <editing my wishlist now...>

I think the most affordable the lowest range from Seiko with sapphire glass is SUR007P2.

Those are just prefix for watch models in sales catalog. The following numbers are added for newer models. Something like our registration plates.
Example. Seiko chronograph SNDA ->SNDB ->SNDC ->SNDD

SKX is an old designation for watches with 7S26 movements.
SRP is a newer designation for Seiko Superior models that uses newer movements.

Some models exact models have different catalog numbers for different markets.
Seiko Presage SSA018J1 (International) SARY018 (JDM)
IINM, SZEN is for JDM and selected markets for Seiko Monster with a slightly different dial marking.

No worries man. Just buy for collection. I've got several diver's watches but not man enough to wear them.
I'll give the autosol polish a try soon.

Do take pics of the actual watch when you received it.
AFAIK. there is no SKX007D Seiko catalog number.

Notice that both the watches on Amazon, the dial has no reference number as genuine Seiko watches.
7S26 002R R2


What you get could likely be a fake Seiko. Caveat Emptor.

On the contrary, the pic shown in Amazon has difference that I pointed out. Anyway, I don't want to speculate further without seeing pics of the actual watch.

Was looking for a particular model but didn't find it.
Since I intended to blow some money to expand my collection, I settled for this one, will get a grey market version for modding later.
This was bought at an AD with close to 40% discount of RRP.
Managed to get a proper display stand too.

I don't wear diver's watches, and Seikos in production are not my main priority in acquisition. Besides I collect other stuff as well.
Anyway getting this watch was a blessing in disguise. Chatting with the shop owner, he showed me his personal collection and has two Seiko Bullheads and a few vintage Seiko divers in excellent original condition.
A nice lead for future acquisition. Perhaps a 6105 in the near future.....

What do you mean cheaper? Watches at AD are usually more expensive than grey market. Everyone is free to negotiate and make the sales transaction at the agreed price.

Check the ADs listed at Thong Sia Malaysia website.

Yes it is and Thong Sia's RRP is RM1145. Some stores will mark up the price and give fantastic discounts. In the end you might get the watch very close to RRP.
