What time is it? Watches and horology

Also raised the Rado Captain Cook a short while back in here this ceramic edition I think is really nice, the smoked crystal gives the Skelton movement a little more refinement I think and the finish looks very good.

(I'm window shopping if post before doesn't make that clear!)

If you loved the Skx013 so much why not buy another one? Not a rare watch on the second hand market.

Not at the same price point as the 013, but off the top of my head:

Maybe a redial/mod of one of the Seiko 5’s might suit more...

I was going to suggest a redialed 5, plenty of mods out there.

Alternatively Helson do 38mm, but more spendy than a Seiko though.

I couldn’t resist this Square when I was in Carnaby st .
They will price match sale items btw

I loved my skx, and opportunity to try something new I guess.

The Deep Blue version is basically an SKX but with better spec and actually aim at divers.

Thanks Ed. Yeah I might look at some of those. Steeldive and the like are out as I don't like the logo one bit. Thought I saw a similar budget brand where you could specify no logo dial but can't find it now.

Sorting a strap for my found Wetrista will keep me happy for a bit anyway.

if that's aimed at divers then I do hope they learn to screw that crown in properly.

Basically a SKX013 copy, but with better Seiko movement, better bracelet (solid links), double domed anti reflective sapphire crystal, and lot of dial / bezel choices. You'd have to pay import / VAT but otherwise...

Depending on the model.

Interesting- this one is looking attractive to me.

What! I thought this was a keeper?! Why sellz?

Thanks, again logo is not to my taste, same for bezel font.

Maybe a modded Seiko is the way to go.

Nice 👍 like that a lot. Might try one, even more under the radar than the bb58

It's a blatant gateway drug to an SLA017, so watch out!

What about the SRP777?

Basically an upgrade from your SKX.
