“What more can you say about the SKX that’s not already been said. That being said, my watch came well packaged and in a very timely fashion. The SKX came with the rubber dive watch band which is an excellent watch band but I also purchased the Strapcode Super Jubilee watch band. I will not be scuba diving and it’s my opinion that the Super Jubilee watch band makes my SKX look a little more stylish. I also know if I would ever need anything that Marc would gladly help.”
“Everything is as expected.
If I had one complaint is would be that communication after the purchase has been non existent (package tracking, content questions). Prior to purchasing there was a lot of back and forth. Everything arrived but the shipping wasn't quite as fast as I had hoped and I was disappointed it did not come with a Seiko Warranty Card.”
“The skx line is iconic. It comprises what most agree is the ultimate entry-level automatic diver line. Known for its simple-but-revolutionary 7S26 movement with no hacking or hand-winding. The hardlex crystal and flimsy jubilee bracelet give it an endearing charm. However, it is also famous for qc (quality control) issues. So the question is, how do I pick one of these up without having to worry about the qc issues?
Buy from a trustworthy and reputable dealer. Inevitably some of these watches leave the factory with qc issues.
I purchased this watch (skx009j) from island and when I received it, I quickly noticed that part of the rubber seal was hanging out the caseback. It was already late in the evening so I emailed Marc assuming he would respond the next day. Marc responded less than an hour later offering to immediately send a new watch and provide a postage-paid return. I had the new watch 2 days later and it is free of defects. I can now enjoy confidently this iconic watch!”
