PoorMansRolex I have a couple Skagens from the mid 2000's and the designs hold to this day. You are right, many of the minimalist designs age poorly. But many skagens look as modern now as they did 20 years ago. I got into watches a year may 2 ago, and I have some cool automatic Seikos, a nice orient. I thought after getting into these cool automatic watches I would look down upon my old Skagens, but no I don't at all. If you want a modern dress watch look, I think they fit the bill nicely.

The squircle sub dials are what really set it apart. Very cool.

I clicked on this thinking it was a Skagen. I actually have a few Skagen's from mid to late 2000's. I really like them and I think the style has really held up. Only pain is, on their really thin watches the strap clamps in with tiny screws and you have to use specific straps. I will probably buy some straps and try to mod them to work.

Thanks again. I will see what Mr.Santana finds. If that does not pan out I will look up someone in Bankok or Pattaya.

sfreak. Thanks for your insight into the going rate. I have never had a watch rebuilt so I had no idea. And your idea of SEA is great. I did not think of that, and I am traveling to Thailand in less than 2 weeks.

Thanks Mr.Santana. Yes I would prefer to keep the original movement. Let me know if you find anything out.
