Pros & Cons
Pros
The watch itself is very well made. Looks sporty, yet mature. The bezel spins smoothly and positively. The face is easy to read with nice sharp markers that glow in the dark nice and bright.
Time-tested time keeping from a manufacturer well-versed in the art of mechanical movements. Easy to muck around with should the whim take me.
The skx013 is the smaller version and a different animal altogether. The hardlex is pretty good and the lume is the best outside of niche dive watches like armida. Even the lumibrite lume and hardlex crystal are like new.
Cons
Thoroughly disgusted that my goto brand is no longer my goto. Paid $248 for it. Now they're just malaysian built junk.
It stops in less than 10 hours after you take it off your wrist. There is no easy, inexpensive fix. It is either defective or junk.
Highlights
Quality
The fit finish and quality is excellent for a watch in this price range
The build quality is as solid as any watch i have ever handled
Ive spent more on bands than i paid for the wacth
Ill be sending it back to seiko usa for warranty repair soon and will update this review with the outcome
Price
These are great watches at a very reasonable price
Shipping
Bought this on 914 and paid for regular shipping
I bought the same or similar watch in 1974 from the ships store for 85
Packaging/appearance
I then ordered the skx173 from amazon great shipping full packaging and paperwork and a great looking watch
After a lot of internet searching i narrowed in on the skx007 an skx173 but i was concerned about both of them being too big on my wrist
Competitiveness
Wish these were still in production in my opinion these look better than the skx007 series the lolipop seconds on the right end alone
For a mechanical in this price range more than acceptable
If the watch hadnt stopped winding i would have given it five stars

The 120 click bezel is what i would call highprofile with the beveled crystal sitting just below its top edge

This could be improved with a slight regulation but i would not do so now as it would require breaking the seal on the case back
