but 30secs is still well within specs.
i recall its specs are something like -20/+40.
u probably could have saved money just by getting it calibrated again.

Seeing that SKX is out of production, does this model have the potential to be a collectors item after a good few years?

Yea, there was a discussion on it, and no one is clear on where he found that info.

You can pretty much still get it in main channels like Yodabashi or wherever you get your watches.

if was on Hodinkee, I'd think the info is pretty credible

also, those main channels may still have inventory

Suffice to say.. Purchasing the Turtle 2.0 is unquestionably obligatory.

Question is which?

I'm leaning towards pepsi

SKX is too many... Hard to be rare...

Maybe you can buy one new now sealed and never open it... In 20-30 years time manatau...

there was a thread somewhere where someone mentioned a rakuten japan dealer was told by seiko to stop selling skx overseas.
my guess is stocks slowly drying up now.
