Want to buy a replacement for my skx007 and this looks nice. It seems a bit too cheap for the price though

Fake. I would say its more like a mod.

There is a new Seiko 5 SRPK18 if you want a all gold case.

Honestly might buy this just to see the quality of it. I thought It was a mod as well as it has a 1980s movement and the serial suggests 1981. This is odd as it has the new seiko 5 logo and it is definitely an aftermarket dial as it doesn’t have the movement and model number at the bottom according to the pictures.

If it’s too good to be true…

Location is in India-home of the Mumbai specials.

Stay away. and look at sellers feedback. Hardly stellar.

The caseback has long since since parted company with the rest of the watch it was once attached to unfortunately, so I wouldn't go by the serial number on it. It's laughable how the current Seiko 5 logo has been etched on it lol. Seriously though I wouldn't touch this frankenwatch piece of junk with a 10 foot pole!!

Update on this: I didn’t buy it. Thanks watchcrunch as looking back it looked very shady
