    Thank you for the kind words, Tony. I'm an enthusiastic amateur when it comes to such things, but thoroughly enjoy it.

    The Seiko is new for me. It replaced a Suunto Vector I've had for eight years that I thought had finally given up the ghost (I actually ended up fixing it, bad connection). It's my first automatic, and I dig it. The Seiko SKX is affordable (cheaper than my Vector), but watches can be a very expensive hobby, so I'm trying hard not to dig it too much.

    I bought mine from Creation Watches out of the Philippines, since I wanted the non-importated Made in Japan model (SKX007J). Very smooth transaction, and quick DHL shipping (free).

    Looks sold out, for now. From what I read, they're a reputable dealer that many on watchuseek forums have used. I would buy from them again.

    SKX007J - Made in Japan
    SKY007K - Made in Malaysia

    Not sure it really matters, but I figured what the heck.

    Here is a popular US based retailer, who did order and import them, but at a hefty premium. They also have a nice video about the very minor differences.

    Out of all the pistols I've sold, the TRS is the one that I miss the most. I can't put my finger on it but the TRS was near perfection for me and my hands.

    Thanks. Looks like the U.S. retailer is only $35 more and has them in stock.

    Do you know the width of the strap ?

    Today, as most days. I just love this knife — I never feel bad about beating it hard and the wave is the one true way for me. Just got back from the SSR of Norway and couldn’t put it back on fast enough.

    Totally agree. Had one, gave it to a good friends nephew who had just been hired on by the local PD. My wife carries the Delica version.
