Thanks for the comment, man. Yeah the colour matched even better than I could have hoped for. Have a great watch day!
Wow, thanks for pointing out the Ray 2, it looks fantastic! I never knew they made such a watch. I only knew about their Bambinos!
The main draw of the original was the $150-$200 price for a nicely proportioned and semi decently specced diver. Not sure if it would qualify as an SKX at 10X the price but I hear you!
I think they’d sell bucketloads if they could release one with the same specs, design and of course, affordability. It’s still got a big following and people new to watches are getting into them as well, arguably more so than any other Seiko.
I think the SPB313/315 don’t really look much like the SKX as the case shape is turtley! Not really digging that aesthetic (although it is a lovely watch). It’s also ~ 3X the price! In terms of the ISO, how much would it cost to put a lume dot marker at 3 o’clock to the right of the date window?
Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the Mako III! You’re absolutely right, it’s got all the right specs and price point of it and if you squint, it has a similar aesthetic. I googled and found that Orient have another watch called the Triton and it looks even more like the SKX, especially the one with pepsi bezel. Very nice shout, cheers!
