Recommended Posts

One of watch YouTubers posted on his channel that SKX series will be discontinued.

It may cause preowned ones price will go up.

Anyone heard about it?

It's true, there is a new lineup with a better movement but not anymore ISO certified as Diver (no screw-down crown and down to 100m water resistance) under the Seiko 5 which uses the same case. All the new 27 models can be seen here:

Thank you Alex..

Even though it has a better movement, I think older one is better. 

Like you mentioned, it won’t be called “Diver watch.”

Yep. But there is still a good way: get an "old" SKX case and a new Seiko5 and transplant everything but the midcase and the crown to the SKX :)

Rose Gold one looks cool. Hate the strap it comes with though. Would look much better on rubber.

I am not the fan of SKX.. Each has pros and cons, but it is too much work..:D

+1 Looks like rubber but leather added on top of it. Original one looks much better..

Yep. Really not sure what that new look 5/S brings to the party. Also it looks printed rather than an applied ‘badge’. Not an improvement. But overall I like the look of the new range.
