Scratch and Dent - Seiko SKX009 Divers Automatic Watch Super-J "Louis" Edition with a Flat Sapphire Crystal #SKX009

This is a Seiko Mod watch that is only missing a sticker. No issues. Like NEW.

The Seiko SKX009* Diver’s Watch is one of the world’s most popular automatic wristwatches. This SKX009 Seiko scuba diver watch has been modded with a Strapcode Super Jubilee Bracelet as a custom upgrade to the OEM Seiko Jubilee bracelet. It also has been upgraded with a flat scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Sapphire not only resists scratches, but it also provides a sharper view of the dial and hands. And, it helps keeps the watch looking new over time. The SEIKO SKX009 dive watch features Seiko's well proven 7S26 automatic (self-winding) movement with a day and date display. The SKX009 has highly luminous Lumibrite treated hands and markers, a large screw down offset crown, uni-directional bezel, and a solid etched, screw-down case back.

The Strapcode Super-J "Louis" bracelet has several advantages over the stock OEM bracelet on the SKX009. It is all solid links including the end links at the lugs. The links are screwed-in instead of push pins and they are slightly thicker at 3.4mm. The deployant clasp is machined milled from solid 316L stainless steel vs. the Seiko OEM bracelet which is simply stamped steel. The Strapcode deployant clasp also has six fine adjustments (one more than the Seiko OEM bracelet). The Strapcode Super Oyster tapers from 22mm at the lugs to 18mm at the clasp. Overall length is 190mm. Net weight is 93 grams. The bracelet is secured to the SKX009 using a pair of FAT spring bars to eliminate rattle while wearing.

The Sapphire Crystal used in place of the Seiko OEM Hardlex is 2.9mm thick and was professionally installed. The crystal is flat and has no anti-reflective coating. Also included with your purchase is a pair of Island Watch soft white gloves suitable for safe watch handling and polishing (These are the same gloves Marc wears in the Island Watch YouTube videos).
