Thank you, just put the order in for the Dan Henry!

I do love the Universal Geneva connection. You have a very good point on the price. Even for solar quartz, you’re still paying a lot for not that much more in terms of watch. I’m heavily leaning towards the Dan Henry. I can add the bracelet and it will still be cheaper than a second hand SSC813.

Maybe wait until 2026, I bet they’ll launch a 30th anniversary SKX reissue under the Prospex line. I’m guessing 200m diver, same case, 6r movement, solid end link jubilee, at $1000 too 😂

How about the SPB143 or SPB453? They’re part of the 62mas line and there is no Pepsi (yet) but I think the overall dimensions are better and so is the movement. Still diver certified. Not as cheap as the skx when it first came out, but it’s still an iconic watch from the brand.
