So what's your verdict? Would you bite the bullet and get the overpriced though classic SKX013 or SRPD55K which is almost half the price of the former watch? Do you think the SKX's will appreciate overtime just like the SARB's? Or will they retain in value or drop?

Also looking at the SKX and its alternative recently, I tried the SRPD57 on wrist and didn't like the way it looks. The dial looks a bit plain without the "200M" marking and the font of the "Automatic" looks odd on a dive style watch. Compared it alongside a SRPA21, I liked the SRPA21 more than the SRPD57 mainly due to the dial and bezel (and proper 200M rating). However the SKX/SRPD case is nicer looking for me. In the end might go for the Turtle instead.

Bought the SRP777 Turtle in the end! Got it at about 1.0k from Shoppee seller after cashback. Tempted by Pepsi (SRP779), PADI (SRPA21) and Gold (SRP775) but chose the black one as I think it is the most versatile and classic. First automatic too.

The reference number for the one I bought is actually SRPE93K1 as it has "Divers Watch 200M" instead of "Air Divers 200M" at the caseback due to an update to ISO regulation. The original SP77x series should have been phased out by now.
