SKX007 - Graduation Gift

[paul cbc]

My Nephew is graduating from College and I wanted to get him a watch to mark the occasion.

After thinking about some more formal options I went back to the watch that had been on my mind for him for over a year, the SKX007.

A couple years back when I sourced my SKX013, I examined 3-4 pieces in order to get one with a clear crystal and (mostly) aligned bezel. To my pleasant surprise the 007 I purchased arrived in excellent condition. Dial, crystal, and bezel alignment are all tops. I am impressed at the brush and polish work on this watch. It is a 2019 production year example so last year of production for the SKX007.

In addition to the OEM dive strap, I also sourced a new Uncle Seiko Z199 bracelet. I think this handsome bracelet will dress it up for work or formal occasions. I hope this watch will serve him well for many years to come.
