“This is the watch that made me fall in love with the watch world. I'm glad I bought it from Long Island Watch because it was affordable and I knew the watch would be handled with care. The packaging was superb and the chapter rings aligned (a common problem of the skx). Would definitely buy from them in the near future.”
“Not gonna lie, I was really worried about the sizing. People online talk a lot about how much smaller the 013 is against expectations, given its dimensions. For me, this is the absolute perfect size for a watch. It's crisp, classy, and (to me, at least) more sophisticated than something larger. I think it'll age well as a permanent piece in my collection. Mind you, I've got 6"3/4' wrists, so I'm not a big guy. If you're struggling to decide between the 007/9 and the 013, I'd just look at the watches you're used to wearing. If you are used to wearing watches 42mm+, the 013 is gonna feel really small for you. On the other hand, if you usually wear anything 40mm or below, it'll fit great! Classic!”
“I feel very good whenever I wear my customized SKX013. Moded with dbl dome sapphire crystal, ceramic two time zone bezel insert, and strapcode jubilee.
Hoping one day Long Island offers more ways to customize SKX013 such as second needles, crown, no bevel edge AR sapphire crystal, coin edge bezel, and multiple bezel insert (pepsi, batman, green, deep sea etc.).
SKX013 lacks mod manufacturers. I want to add more SKX013 mod into my collection if there would be more ways to mod with Long Island - one shop for everything!”
“Great watch for a smaller wrist. Keeps great time and looks great also. I changed the band for a nato band. Great service through island watch. Quick and professional”
“The watch is terrible. It loses 5 minutes per day. Much less accurate than the other Seiko automatic watches I own. Much less accurate than the manufacturer specifications.”
“Was seen wearing this in Princeton NJ. Fellow watch enthusiasts recognized it despite a gingerbread Barton strap and a poor man’s GMT bezel and complemented me on having a 013. This one is suitable for men or women so my wife and I share it. Our 013 has been on the beach and in the ocean with no worries.”
