seiko diver??

[mr.loverman]

so i bought a seiko black monster about six weeks ago and i love it. only problem is that i'm now wanting more watches.

i was thinking of getting a traditional diver style watch like the seiko SKX007. does anyone know a good source for this watch?

Nothing from me; But I'd recommend the Invicta pro diver instead. Looks more like the "real thing"

But for more quality go with Seiko.

If by that you mean it looks like a Submariner/Seamaster hybrid knock-off, I agree.



Decent prices for SKX007X and other Seiko Divers here:

Have a look at the SBDCs...

A man in my painting class has a SKX007 and I often admire it.

My dad's had a Seiko diver for 25 years and still loves it.

Personally, I still favor saving the extra cash for a genuine Rolex and making that your lifetime watch for all occasions.

Why not purchase the Seiko Marine Master REF:SBDD001? If you want a quality dive watch for relatively inexpensive price, look into MKII, Stowa, Ocean7 etc. If you want to have a watch that is an heirloom that is a different topic!

I had the same addiction last year and I hope to have tamed the beast.

But two places that I have had exceptional service and are running some good sales:

www.worldofwatches.com

www.discountwatchstore.com

Good luck.

This is my fav Seiko

This is my 2nd fav:

How about considering the SBCM023 as well? Same classic style as the SKX007 in a smaller case with a nice Oyster bracelet - and the stellar 8F35 high-frequency quartz movment with perpetual calendar. Mine was last set on the 29th of august and is still dead-on against the atomic-synched clock.

Best plan might be to hit up Timezone's sales corner... http://forums.timezone.com/index.php...eadt&frm_id=32 I'm pretty sure I've seen a bunch of those go through there... plus, you can always post a WTB and see what comes out of it.

I looked into several diver's watches (including the MarineMaster) across a wide price range, but in the end I liked this inexpensive Seiko SKX031. It came with an oyster bracelet, but I like the Bond strap, which adds to the "blackness" of the watch.

 

[mr.loverman]

does it matter if its a made in japan model?

i found a site that is a certified seiko dealer that includes a 3 year warranty but the watches aren't japanese models.

another site offers a great variety of japanese models but only a 1 year warranty.


which would be best?
