If that’s the going rate I will put mine on SC...
They can’t have many / any takers at that price?
This made my eyes bleed…

Yeah & that's the sale price too!
I have noticed even on creation watches the skx007 have gone up in price as they become less available
Wow! They were 250 on amazon a couple of weeks ago

Ridiculous.... I mean they are a good watch, but not at that price.

I understand that they're discontinued, so if you want a new one, they'll be harder and harder to find...
It doesn't seem long ago I bought a couple for eighty quid each!
Do you think they will settle down after a while, or are they going to stay at the £500 mark?
I love mine,but I would never pay those prices??? I paid about £150 a few years ago when creation watches were still being creative with the tax rules

I bought one 10 years ago for under £100.
I really wish I still had it.
The prices are getting ridiculous. I really hope used prices will settle down after the feeding frenzy to get the last brand new ones (which lets face it, have been sitting in warehouses for years at this stage anyway) has died down.
The new R———x get ready to pamper your AD when they reopen unless of course you have the special number.
I FEEL LIKE I'M DIAGONALLY PARKED IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE
Absolutely. They were ubiquitous for what, 25 years? I'm sure bigger seiko fanboys than me will be able to point out all the slight variations to the components over that time, but to the relatively ignorant, like me, it remained unchanged throughout it's entire run.
It must be the most popular, and therefore the most common dive watch ever produced?
I think it shows how silly the market can be that they are commanding the kind of prices they currently are. Especially some of the used ones I see on eBay.
I can almost ubderstand someone wanting to pay silly money for a factory fresh one, but again, there were rumours Seiko were stopping producing these years ago, so a brand new one is effectively NOS at this point.
I've had both 007 and 009 but this variant (much more attractive to my eye at least) is the one I've kept hold of.
Throwback~~Eddie used to have them in stock back in 04 I think for around £95!!

My 007 was $207 from Freddy at 21jewels in 2013.
It seems that all Seiko have shot up in price, Monsters are another one that could be had for around the £100 Mark, now look at them!
Bloody knew I should have got one years ago!
Good deals can be had on the used market. 200-250USD
If you think that’s bad, I’ve been looking for an SKX171 for ages. There’s one on eBay for £600! There are more affordable ones in the impenetrable Uhrforum but as I don’t speak German, taking their membership test isn’t viable...
I saw that one and the seller is a dreamer imho. I was looking for a 171 dial last year and the dials alone were fetching up to £120 at auction, then a complete watch came up for auction and I got it for just under £200.
I think there's currently a bubble in SKX prices as people now know they're discontinued and are bidding up what they believe are the last remaining stocks, but the flaw is that there are tens of thousands of the things out there and they'll still be easy to find in great condition in ten or twenty years time.
Now I'm sorry that I have not bought the SKX009, to have both of them.
Crikey!
I feel like I stole mine from vwfan now as it was only £75 +P&P It's absolutely like new to me too..
Surely no one will buy them from the outlets in the links?????
John...
I’ve often fancied an skx171 so keep an eye on them when they pop up on eBay. Have seen a few nice examples go for anywhere between £200-300, so anyone asking £600 is having a some kind of mini breakdown.
Same with the SKX007s, makes me chuckle the amount of folks trying to sell with buy it now prices of £350+, listings heavily laced with ‘ICONIC’, and ‘DISCONTINUED’, when you can still get them brand new for under £250!
Loads of chancers out there looking to take advantage - sadly will be plenty of people who fall for it

Isn't the price of the 171 being driven up because people want the dials for modding?
Look at ebay prices for the Seiko 'SRP' Orange Monsters, there are chancers on there with BINs of nearly £1000 and completed sales in the 4-800 range, wish I could find the box for mine as if I could get the upper end for it, it'd be off to pastures new and I'd be glued to slaes corner and C24 lol
