Seiko SKX031

[smalltime]

I have only just discovered this seiko diver looks like a really nice watch and a good size for my wrist.

I have looked around and cant seem to find one anywhere, have they stopped making this model if so is it likely that it will ever be made again?

Would really like to try one of these! Do any members own one?

Cheers.

Dan.

I used to have one - bought it from Creation. Good price and fast delivery.

It wore well on my 6.75" wrist and was a great little watch. The main reason I moved it on was try as I might I just cant live with day/date displays

Thanks for the reply mate, I've tried creation they don't have it. Was it long ago that you got one from there?

I think that it was about 2 years ago - why not email them and see if they are expecting more in?

Something to note - sometimes you get hit for tax by HMCR upon import. You can be lucky though - Ive had a few that have slipped through the net. No such luck with the Alpinist......

Yes I will email them. I've been lucky with creation so far...

I don't think these are in production anymore and so you would have to find one second hand or NOS.

Yep. Discontinued.

never say it's too big....till you try on it...go for 007

I've had a 007 and did find it a bit large.

I may have to get an 013.

They come up on t'bay quite regularly. Many of the ones that do have been significantly modified and are overpriced as a consequence.

There's also a chap in the Philippines who seems to have a rolling supply of DOA watches. Some of the cases are retrievable, bezels less so, inserts and movements often a write-off.

Hi There Dan,

Hi Nigel that's great cheers mate

SKX031, had two, liked them. Good size. But only 100m, bidirectional bezel (if i remember correctly), without lume pip, different (worse) bezel construction than the SKX007, and a little bit too submariner-copyish for my taste. SKX007 (had several too) has more quality to its fit and finish and is the better watch. The SKX007 also wears surprisingly well (=small) due to its short lug to lug distance, but sits singificantly higher and heavier on the wrist than the SKX031. The SKX031 was discontinued several years ago.

Hope that helps
JM
