“No alignment issues. Pending how active I am (or if I just did the "Seiko Shuffle"), the accuracy of the movement is +/- 3 to 4 seconds a day. The Super Jubilee (combined with the watch) is hefty....yet comfortable and reassuringly secure on my wrist.
I couldn't be happier with this purchase.
On a side note: I have a rather large wrist (nearly 8 inches). As I don't like my bracelets tight, plus I needed some additional slack for the heat and humidity of the upcoming summer season, Marc was able to provide an additional link so that I could get that "right" fit, and can micro-adjust as needed. Thank you, Marc, for that...and for answering my emails and then sending out such a great time piece.
Now, I'm in the market for either the SKX007 on a Super Oyster, or the Gilded Samurai, so I can rotate between them. I have a feeling that it will be happening sooner than later.
11/19/19: With the return of the SNJ025 "Arnie", my money went there.”
“I had my eye on a "pepsi" diver for a while and finally decided to grab the SKX009. The watch itself is pretty smart and I'm happy with the look and feel. I haven't had a lot of wear time with it, so it's too early to tell about the accuracy, but I expect it to be just as reliable as my other Seikos. As for the Strapcode Super Jubilee upgrade, I'm not really sure where I stand there. I hadn't tried the Seiko original band, so I don't have a great reference. I don't find the Strapcode band to be anything extraordinary, but that being said, it seems solid.”
“My first real dive watch. The watch makes me look like I know what I’m doing. I hope the dive lessons help. Watch is very nice, great polish on case and extremely readable.”
