I just 2 weeks ago received my new old stock SKX011J1 from Creation Watches . I had a stock SKX bracelet that I never used in brand new condition from my SKX009 and put it on the Orange 🍊 boy . I’m so loving this watch 😊👍🏻🍊💯
I wore mine over the weekend 👍💈💈
like the skx009, will keep it forever
Thanks as always, Ken!
Mike H 👍👍
Great looking watch!
Fr8nkEs0d0tCh Thank you 👍👍💈
Nice watch Ken. Great purchase.
Very nice watch
Love the watch series videos. Had to buy the 009 with the Pepsi face. I’ve been wearing it for a couple day and I LOVE. More fun stuff to buy. First Seiko for me. Thanks again for the info.
Flyboybobio does it glow pretty good in the dark
Very well. I’m amazed.. Watch is heavier than I thought.
👍👍
Orange is used often in dive watches as it’s one of the last colours you can see at depth.
hanscombe72 👍👍
Good looking watch 👍
Thanks Abe
Sharp looking watch Ken 👍
Scott Colwell 👍👍
Seiko shuffle😀😀 LOL! It would look fine on the jubilee too. This model is nicknamed Orange Boy. I have it and love it. Great review!
Thank you
I have all 3. Enjoy
Uncle kensurfs you have great style! Your choice on colognes and watches are very similar to me!
Mr. Marcus 👍👍
I Love It Ken That is Going To Be My Next Watch Is the Yellow One Also Made In Japan 😀😮😮😮😊😀
Chris Chiampo I think the yellow is made in Malaysia
Just discovered my Dad owns one of these and doesn’t wear it. Turns out I’ll be able to get it. Looking at straps today online. Probably going to go with a tapered rubber strap
Robert Redford sports a Nato strap with his 009 Pepsi in the movie "All is lost."
sunset 👍👍
Beautiful watch. I used to collect. Still have a few including a 6105 and 6309. Have you seen the movie All is Lost? Redford sports a 009 on a navy nato.
deathb4digital 👍👍
Can u swap the rubber for a jubilee Seiko bands..love the watch but not fan of straps
Hey ken quick question I just wanted to know where you buy your skx's from ?
Sam Beaver Almost all of them I found on eBay. My 7002 I bought from the jewelry district in downtown LA
The Omega NATO straps are smoother seatbelt-style nylon as opposed to the rougher/sportier ballistic nylon. Thankfully a bunch of companies are offering seatbelt NATO straps now. I like them but I've pretty much moved on from NATO straps for my watches in favor of vulcanized rubber.
caomhan84 It the rubber softer than the typical seiko diver rubber.
@@kensurfs it depends on who makes it. The new Seiko rubber straps (the silicone ones with the metal keepers that come on Turtles and the 62MAS and other high end watches) are wonderfully soft and comfy, moreso than the old SKX straps, but I don't like them because they are too long for my small wrist and attract lint. Aftermarket vulcanized rubber straps vary from very comfortable right off to needing a break-in period...depending on what rubber formula the company uses. All my Seiko divers are on Tropic straps and waffle straps from Uncle Seiko right now, but I've also tried Barton and they're good too. If only Seiko didn't make their newer straps so long.....
👍👍Thank you
What should one expect to pay for a watch like this used?
Amazing watch....I want a Pepsi
talega1 They are pretty cool👍👍
Hey Kensurf, I live in L.A. and would like to know where in downtown did you go and what did you pay? My brother bought a seiko diving watch in the early 90's in downtown for $150 and I just don't believe him.
It was the jewelry district and the guy I went to had a booth in one of the stores. I paid about $125 for mine new in box
@@kensurfs how long ago was this?
Great video, Ken! Is Bonanza a safe site to buy genuine watches?
Mike Hazlett so far for me, yes
Really nice watch , eBay yes tons of fake or Frankenstein watches from India Asia , made a mistakes when I first started collecting watches with ones from India and the Philippians the biggest one was buying a supposed tag heuer automatic diver spend 250 dollars it ran but the crown didn’t screw down. Anymore all the lume was falling off and the bezel didn’t stay in place , who knows what movement was in it , so I sold it as parts for 35 dollars cus it was such a dog , then ones from India supposedly vintage watches , they fall apart or don’t even run right not to mention they repaint the dial , total dogs never again
Hang on to those SKXs. Seiko is discontinuing them.
Michael Clonts I just heard 😲
Seiko have just discontinued the SKX line..sad news for a lot of SKX fans..
Mark Richards I just heard. Those are my favorites
Sad day for SKX fans😪 But on the bright side, your collection probably just became a lot more valuable😉 czcams.com/video/5alFPHdP12Q/video.html

jmr5707 oh man they are cool watches👍👍
Its my hobby, too. Started during 70ties with Seiko, flwd by Rolex diver, another Rolex GMT, few other Seiko n Citizen (the latter specialized in divers). I lost my Rolex GMT, yes, I lost a Rolex. Unwilling to fork another several $K came across Bliger 43mm GMT. China, copied Miyota movement, below $100 shipped. Myself nvr considered Russian or Chinese watches, but man, it looks like Rolex, feels like one, ticking n rotor similar to Rolex. Those Chinese fly orbit, send robots to moon, sure they know how to build watches. I wud not inform y, if I wud not be absolutely surprised abt those watches. Go n google it, cheers Achim+
