SRPD63K1, for K1, it is not made in Japan right?
Any J1 version?
*
The Made in Japan version carries a different model number.

SRPD63K1 equivalent will be SBSA013.

Giving it a brand new look by fitting it with a pair of leather straps.

As we all know SKX line of watches have been discontinued for some time ago, recently i have been contemplating whether or not I should be getting SKX013 (in which i prefer over the SKX007) or the SRPD55K1 (successor of the SKX007) which has the upgraded movement (4r36), exhibition case back, better finishing and polishing. From the sources that i can find, market price for brand new (old stock) SKX013's will set me back around rm1.3-1.4k. And SRPD55K's are going for around rm800 (almost half) these days. What are your take on this? Would you still be getting the SKX013 due to it being an all time classic (which is also ISO certified unlike the newer models), or would you go for the newer model because you don't think SKX013 are worth spending rm1.3-1.4k on nowadays?

For me, I dont really know man, in terms of SKX i think anything over rm800 is not worth getting for, yes it is reliable as ever however the specs are frankly, outdated in today's standards, 7s movement which is non-hacking and non-handwinding, however the watch along with the 007 and 009's have such a cult following in the watch community, because "Its a SKX bro".

In terms of the SRPD55K, you can see that Seiko has carry forward the old designs into the current line of Seiko 5 diver models. Almost every aspect of the watch has been updated and refined (finishing, winding and hacking movement, display case back), however the watch community has been constantly bashing on this watch because it lacks character. It is not ISO certified, only 100m WR instead of 200. These are often regarded as fashion watches that looks like dive watches.

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?

I did own both at some point of time.

Movement wise, in terms of accuracy I've no problem with both 7S26 and 4R36, in fact the 7S26 is much more accurate than the few other 6R15 in my collection. Besides, you got to ask yourself is hacking and handwiding important for you? Can you live without it?

I didn't really fancy the bracelet on the SRPD63, the 22mm non tapered bracelet just doesn't feels right on my wrist and not really comfortable to wear.

At the end of the day, I'm still keeping the SKX007 and sold the SRPD63 after few months of ownership as I find the SKX still a proper diver watch with screwdown crown despite the shortcomings of the movement.

I guess I'm not in a right position to comment on the price, I bought them to wear, so appreciation (if any) is just a bonus for me to shiok sendiri tongue.gif
