Seikos come and go, SKX are forever
SKX is a fun watch. Wore this one during some memorable times.
🤜💥🤛
How do they compare?
Hmm. Hard to say what's real and what's in the mind. I also had a seiko 5 that looked more patinated, so the skx feels crisper in that regard. I don't REALLY miss the lack of hand winding or hacking, but I can see how some people might. I like the closed caseback and the screw down crown. It just felt "right" to have the actual dive watch rather than dive "style" watch. Oh, the lume on the Seiko 5 was wayyyyy better. The best I've ever had. But the other lume isn't bad.
