Just got into reps, ordered an Omega PO Noob and enjoying it but headed to Cuba in two weeks and I'm a big surfer, diver & beach bum so knew I wanted something a little more low budget, durable and badass. I've had Nixons in the past but their style just doesn't do it for me anymore and that classic diver look can't be outdone.

So, I'm gonna unload the Nixon's (hopefully) and enjoy some newer ones like this. Paid extra for a nice oyster bracelet... Can't wait to get it and enjoy while traveling.

Has anyone modded one of these? Only desire would be maybe changing hands or the color of the second hand. Also need to learn about straps vs. bracelets and where to get the good ones.

It´s a top watch, You´ll love it. Goes very well with Nato-straps for swimming/sports. Super-bright lume!
You´ll find modding parts at Dagaz.

You'll love it. It's one of my favorite watches. I put a MiLTAT jubilee bracelet on it, and it was a fantastic upgrade. It also looks amazing on a red, white, and blue NATO. I plan on buying another one to mod. I really like the fifty fathoms mod. I hope you enjoy it when it comes.

I had a skx009 that I had fitted with a domed sapphire, a 4r36 hacking movement with black day wheel, orange seconds hand tip and 'S' engraved crown from another model. Was wearing it on a strapcode solid jubilee... What a watch!

Watch arrived, wow its cool! The lume must be radioactive or something its crazy how strong it is.

The mods look like a lot of fun, I will be looking into changes to the hands as they are a bit bland. Overall super happy with it and excited for the oyster bracelet and a few nato straps to arrive.

SKX is a good watch. I had 009 and sold it. Didn't like the movement and the finicky crown. Mine was brand new. You can get brand new Seiko SRP777 turtle for $300 or less now. A better watch IMO with a way superior hand winding and hacking movement. I have that one which I dive with and also turtle PADI. Both are terrific watches that look like SKX but better in every category. They are very affordable now. I would look into turtle line if I was in the market for a dive watch. These are fantastic divers and just overall awesome watches. Forget the SKX, get the turtle. There is no comparison. Just my 2 cents.

Here's my SKX009 I put new hands and a sapphire crystal in. + Miltek bracelet.

I really fancy a stock 007. I ordered one but got ripped off and haven't found anywhere cheap and reputable yet to source another :/
