“I am a long time fan of TGV, and thus have been browsing here for a while. In early April I made the decision of purchasing an SKX007J from Long Island Watch.
1) SKX007J had English and Arabic?! days of the week, I am not sure why they choose not to mention that on the product description page.
2) The minute/chapter ring of Seiko was misaligned, to the point that when I shook the watch it moved, so it was loose on top of misalignment. (In one of the videos Marc mentioned that even with misaligned chapter ring it still passed Seiko's Quality Control..., really? I guess that talks about Seiko as a brand.)
3) If you are buying from Canada, don't forget about IMPORT CHARGES!”
“Not much to say, fantastic watch, made in japan, delivered fast and in perfect shape.
Got this one with the steel bracelet also from longislandwatch.”
“Classic model from seiko. I think everyone who likes divers should own own (or two). I upsized from my skx013 to this watch and very pleased with this decision. I believe both run on the same movement but this particular skx007 is a more accurate timekeeper than my much older skx013.”
“Amazing watch and good delivery schedule by Long Island only let down by a long hold up in customs in the UK. The watch feels very sturdy and invites usage unlike other expensive divers. Quality product with no defects whatsoever. Great purchase!”
“Here are my thoughts on the watch after several weeks of ownership. The polishing on the sides of the case is surprisingly good for a watch in this price bracket. It also has a very nice brushed finish on top of the lugs. The engraving on the case back is very smart and adds a bit of luxury feel to this diver and is impressive that it has it at this price point. The timekeeping of my particular watch is impressive given the spec of the allowable range for the movement included. I have been getting about +10 seconds a day. I might have it professionally regulated when I send it in for service three years from now. But presently I am very happy with the accuracy considering what it could have been. The rubber band is comfortable but nothing to write home about. I might eventually put it on a NATO strap or a Bracelet to improve my enjoyment of the watch. But I would recommend this watch to anyone looking for a diver that is an excellent bargain.”
