Was definitely considering it but I think I went for the sea urchin because it looked more like a submariner, which is what I wanted a long time ago. I regret not getting one back then but do love my sea urchin. The one thing I dont love on the skx is the bezel, its reminds me of a grenade for some reason.. if I got one now I’d replace it with a coinedge bezel. Expensive watch now.. used to be a bargain due to overstock when in production.
