“Before talking about the watch I want to say that the purchase experience was very good. Marc was fantastic. He helped a lot & answered all my questions. I would definitely buy again from LIW if I have to in the future.
As for the watch itself it arrived in very good condition. It didn't have any quality control issues. It looks beautiful. It works well, the accuracy is within the tolerances. My watch usually runs slow about 8 secs a day which is alright for me.
I know it doesn't have hand winding & hacking features like Orient ray 2 but for me the design in skx is better & unique. Also, the fact that is a Seiko wins it because of its history. Even though I don't mind not having a hacking movement but I would have loved to have manual winding but its alright, all i have to do it shake it and set the time. Oh the lume looks absolutely brilliant at night btw.
Overall I am very happy and would definitely recommend it if you are looking to buy your first automatic or diver watch.”
“Watch came to me in great condition, I absolutely love it. Only thing is, when I got it, there was just an order receipt and nothing about any warranties. From what I read on the description of the specific watch on the LI watch website, it should come with a long Island watch warranty, not the warranty from seiko. But a warranty nonetheless. Correct me if I'm wrong.”
“I heard about Long Island Watches via YouTube and found Mark’s videos to be really insightful and helpful. I’ve been wanting to get into watch collecting for a while and quickly established that the legendary Seiko SKX007 is as good a place to start as any! I wanted to buy from a place where I could be confident the service would be good and Long Island Watches is that place! Many thanks.”
“I replaced my Seiko dive watch purchased when I was in the Navy 40 years ago. While it's still working the seal is shot and condensation is forming inside the crystal. My new watch is a duplicate. The case is a little thicker and it's rated for 200m instead of the previous 150m. I loved the old watch. The new watch has much better luminosity and the crown is much beefier. I'd expect this watch to last just as long although I won't :).”
