Readers might know that Seiko had discontinued its evergreen SKX007 and SKX009, with the replacement being the Mini-Turtle (SRPC3/4x). As it was, collectors were snapping up whatever stock that were still there in the market, especially the Japan-made J-variant as could be seen by the "Made in Japan" print on the dial.
This was my SKX009J1 and I wrote about an in-coming SKX007 that would be under-going some mod works @ http://andywristwatches.blogspot.com/2018/11/psycho-about-seiko-part-deux.html. As we all bid goodbye to an everyday classic and one of our fave modding specimen, let us enjoy some pics of this beau piece. This SKX009J1 had been upgraded to a Strapcode Super Jubilee bracelet with solid end-links, which was miles better compared to the rubbish Z22 rubber strap or original Seiko oyster/jubilee bracelet with hollow end-links.
2 Pepsi pieces side-by-side but the Seiko SKX009J1's price was merely 10% of the Tudor's, yet the Seiko was truly a lot of watch for the entry-level price tag it carried.
What a great piece the SKX009J1 truly was! Goodbye, Norma Jeane...
Datuk, cantik SKX009J tu. Ada hati nak swap suka sama suka ngan Samurai saya? Baru beli minggu lepas.
ReplyDeleteHi Datuk, are you selling the watch? I'm looking for the J1 and want to buy Strapcode. You have the combi that I wanted! Willing to pay RM1.1k for your watch, Datuk. Loyal reader here :) Give chance ok?
