    SRPE39K1 v SRPE39J1 - premium for the J model - is it worth it?

    The price difference between these two is about £120. Is "J" worth more than a non-Japanese market piece? IIRC correctly, "J" didn't stop chapter rings being misaligned?

    The watch in question.



    Thanks

    IMO, not worth it.

    My K Turtle feels better put together than my J SKX. However my Turtle is misaligned a gnat’s willy, while the SKX is Bob on, so swings and roundabouts.

    I believe the ‘Made in Japan’ moniker is a misnomer with the cheaper stuff and were intended for markets where the manufacturers country of origin was required to be displayed.

    £120? No. The watches will be identical apart from a few tiny markings, admittedly the J will be worth a little more if you decide to sell on, but nowhere near£120 more.

    No, the gap when reselling will be about £30-50.

    Pretty much as above but my views...
    On the wrist it will be indistinguishable. If/when you come to re-sell it, it will sell for a bit more and/or quicker but not £120.
