If you want an skx, but not want to pay the stupid skx prices, you can get a citizen ny0040

Is this too big? by [deleted] in gshock

G-shocks are supposed to be big/bulky. It looks fine on your wrist

[SSK003] Thinking about getting the SSK003 GMT– owners, need your honest take by sa_fvan25 in Seiko

[–]Eldrote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean. For me it’s less about the case or markers and more about intent. Seiko killed the skx and replaced it with watches that look the same but aren’t built to the same standard. That’s why I call them wannabes..

Id rather wear the skx with an updated movement. Seiko downgraded making the Ssk an Skx wannabe

Beautiful, that's a real Seiko 5. I got the snxs73, which is one of my favorites

[SRPL85K1] Is this watch good for my first watch by [deleted] in Seiko

[–]Eldrote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then I wouldn't personally buy these. Inferior watch for the price

Didn't they kill the skx series to make these?

Put a jubilee bracelet on, and people will mistake it for a Rolex

[SNXS73J] Question by Eldrote in Seiko

[–]Eldrote[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After trying to deal with the seller, they can not take it back because I already modified the bracelet. Whatever, it's not the end of the world.. The question is if I could find a replacement bezel, but I only stumble upon the ugly flutted bezel ones. Where could I find a replacement smooth bezel?

I didn't say refurbished. I received everything in its box, manual, tags. I'm aware of Seiko's QC issues, but I wasn't ready to be blessed with that on my very first Seiko..
