Happy New Year chaps.Had this offered but I think the bezel insert is wrong!.
Am I correct in my thinking?.I think the dial and hands are correct,but with so many aftermarket parts for Seiko....
Cheers

Bezel insert looks ok to me. Normally the tell is the lume pip and thin font on the numbers.
And thats an SKX 007 is it not? Are you quoting the movement?

I'd agree, bezel looks suspect to me, although the pic is poor. Seems to be differing fonts used for some of the bezel numerals.Originally Posted by seikomatic
The chap wants £50 which isnt a great deal if all ok,but Id obviously prefer all genuine.
Oh and Im a pre owned than new tbh.
£50 for an SKX007? I'd be biting his hand off. Why isn't it a good deal?
With you on that,but Im more about it being correct than just buying because its a good buy.
Just... Buy it.
Ok.
OK, but you said it wasn't a good deal? Even with aftermarket bezel £50 is a good buy.
Get a better pic of the bezel but it looks OK to me. I think the numbers look weird because of the angle and poor quality photo.
Can I buy it if you dont?
On closer inspection the 30 on the bezel looks weird. But, Aftermarket inserts can never get the lume pip correct and it looks ok on this one. Id need better pics to be 100% happy.

Ill pop some better pics up later.
Decorating at the moment!.....hate it.
Hi Paul,
The insert looks aftermarket and the bezel turning ring looks scuffed between the 35 and 50. It is difficult to tell what state the rest of the watch is in but for me, even at £50, it's not worth the bother unless you wanted it to modify or as a parts donor.

Thanks for that Martin.....much appreciated.
The lume pip is too big for an SKX. It looks like an aftermarket insert for a 7002 or 6309 which had the larger pip.
New genuine SKX inserts often pop up on Ebay when the owner mods their watch and they're usually around £30, so for £80 in total it's very buyable.
The only other thing that might concern me is the service history as it could be from 97, 07 or 2017. No way of knowing without looking at the movement to see if it's an A, B or C version.
