Seiko SKX007J with faded Pepsi bezel

Parkbury's View:
Goodness! What a wonderful modified Seiko diver. That faux patina and "faded Pepsi" bezel really gives a vintage feel and i'm just loving it! Winner!!

Dunn's Assessment:
Seiko is one of my favorite watch-makers and this particular SKX is one of the best mods i've ever laid my poor eyes on.  What a classy sports watch.

Story behind the watch:
The SKX007 is probably the most popular variant of this fan-favorite daily beater watch.  The case design is reminiscent of the classic divers of the past such as the Seiko diver 6309-7290 from decades ago.  What you get for your money is a highly reliable automatic movement with day and date function, rotatable blurry "ghost" bezel, ISO certified diving capacity, brightly lumed hour markers and hands, and a lot more for a very affordable price.  Everyone should have at least one SKX in their collection! Ours includes a handmade vintage-tan colored leather strap and the original Seiko rubber strap. The bezel is a navy-blue color with a faded pink color to give it a "faded Pepsi" look.
