SXK013 just arrived.
Will try and get a wrist shot up, but I thought I’d share my initial thoughts…
The case is nice.
It’s growing on me, but IMHO the dial face (same as SKX007/9) looks cheap irl. I think the polish on the bezel adds to that cheap look.
Size wise the watch sits pretty high, so I’m not sure whether it actually wears smaller than a 007/9. I don’t think the strap helps, so a two part perlon style might pull it down visually. I’d describe it as a small face 007, rather than a small/midsize version – basically a different overall look, even though it should be the same.
Direct comparison stats are hard to find, but I’ve posted the comparisons I’ve found.
Overall I’m going to give it more time (badum-tish), but it’s pushed me to wanting to try on the Oris 65.
