Dead against SKX?

I suppose they're a bit normal, that's all.

Edit: also, the old charity shop Citizen7 runs near silent and perfect, the Seiko5 from India is noisy and horrible. I suppose it's not fair, but the Seiko runs fast no matter what so puts me off them a bit.

I've got a SKX009 and it keeps good time.
The 5 I have (my wife now has) runs a little fast.
Both run a 7S26 movement IIRC

If looks put you off they are readily moddable for the less hamfisted amongst us.
Plenty of bezel / insert options to jazz it up (I have a green insert) that cost pennies and require little to no skill.

Not ideal, but if you are keen on an auto diver there is a reason for SKX ubiquity.
