@howard I thought the difference between these and the ones lower down the chain was that these had the hackable/hand wind 4R36 movement? seems like its a step up from the 7S26 in the SKX series.

True for many of them (and it’s the main “upgrade” over the SKX007) but you can (could?) get 4R-based Seiko 5s, especially the Sports models, for little more than a ton. Eg this one of mine (Sumo has the black version). Think I paid about £150 but later on they were popping up for £120-ish. Decent bracelet and a display caseback on them too.

Handy to know. I love the look of my SKX009 but the fact that it keeps fairly crap time and can't be hand wound irks me a little. I might give one with a 4R36 movement a try.
