🚨 NWA 🚨 Seiko SKX173 - US Market Edition
Thanks to an excellent trade from someone in the Seiko Watch Group, I have my dream SKX. A very nice condition SKX173 to sit alongside my 009. I’ve always wanted a versatile plain black SKX, but was hoping for something just a bit less common than the 007. This US Market 173 is a perfect choice for me. It has just enough tiny imperfections to make it a good “user” and not a safe queen. Currently borrowing the OEM jingle jangle bracelet from my 009, but an Uncle Straps Z199 will be inbound soon.

Very cool watch, these are quite rare & a lot of people confuse them with the 7002

I strive to confuse others.
Congrats, I have a very similar 399 which is a Philippines edition but the key difference is it has applied markers 😎
This is my favorite watch(and most worn). So glad I picked this up new instead of the 007. These are really hard to find nowadays.

Yeah. I’d kind of thought the ship sailed but I offered a watch up to trade for “Something interesting. Maybe an SKX variant?” And for the offer for this and a vintage 6206 I’ll post tomorrow.
Classic
You have my two all time favorite SKX's!

Yep. Very happy with the pair. Would love to add an A35 someday but it isn’t a priority. These were the main two I wanted.

Never able to acquire a 401 so put a 009 bezel on my 171.
