The Samurai is another great one.
Unfortunately Seiko don't make any of those in smaller sizes which is what I liked about the SKX013. Annoyingly I missed out on a good deal for a 2nd hand Oris 65 on a bracelet. Since then I've decided to just wear this...
... but possibly also replace the movement and bezel.
The personalisation angle is a major consumer trend. Just look at how many models and sub models of (essentially) the same cars there are. Same with the earlier discussion of the no of Tudor BBs.
I looked at modding an SKX for about five minutes and then I saw what you can get a turtle for. So I bought a turtle.
People like the skunkworks/personalisation factor though isn’t it, like a Golf with many dollar thrown into modding it instead of buying something actually good/fast in the first place.
