i say its decent and i feel like the 37mm got a higher discount than its bigger sister

15%-20% on a precious metal rolex brand new is good though i dont really watch that market carefully

 

[kurr]

I purchased mine in February from longIslandwatch.com. Legit and mine came without a misaligned chapter ring. Would recommend. May I ask why your looking for another one?

Thanks! I just like the watch. I know that it's discontinued, so I just want to have an extra for the long run.

Jomashop has them for the lowest amount.

I feel ya. Thought about doubling up too. Decided on getting the 009 next. Glad I got the 007 first.

I saw a couple of 40mm YM40s going for 16-17k last month. Sorta wish I picked one up so I could swap a diamond pave dial.

With that said, part of me wants to sell my watches and put that towards a Ferrari (or another Porsche). At least I'll get more enjoyment out of the Ferrari, whereas I can't remember the last time I saw one of my watches (much less wore one).

Looking for a new everyday beater.. my bday coming up. Only have a timex Navi ocean that i wear to the office here and there but looking to step up to my first auto. Been recommended seiko skx007.. citizen pro master or ny0040. . orient..

Budget = $300-400
Style = diver
Band = rubber to start for everyday. But wouldn’t mind option for metal or vice versa.
Movement = Auto

Also without being able to shop locally, amazon?

I've been loving my Seiko divers, pretty much the only two watches I've worn over the last year. In your range I'd say it's worth looking at their Prospex line, such as the SRPB55 (one I'd like to get myself in the next couple years) which comes with a rubber strap. They're great looking watches and the automatic movements work great. Plenty of places to pick it up, including Amazon, Long Island Watch, etc. Stockx does have some "excellent" pre-owned Prospex listed on the site for good prices, I did help a friend find a Prospex through them and there were no issues. The new processing fee is a bummer though

Thanks for the info - what two do you own?
Was looking at the SRP777 and 775...most recently.
The SRPB55 you mentioned looks good, this here for the 51?

Seiko Samurai Prospex Automatic Dive Watch with Black Dial and Stainless Steel Bracelet #SRPB51

Seiko SRPB51 Samurai automatic dive watch features a Seiko 23 jewel automatic movement, a date display, a stainless steel bracelet with a push-button deployant clasp, and highly luminous hands and markers.

Jumping to the prospex line is probably worth it? i know they just released their new 5 sports line, but would that not be recommend if i'm looking for something more do it all, or classic?

I picked up a brand new Seiko 5 sports just over a year ago during a mass drop, wore it almost every day for nearly a year. Picked up a modded 7S26 earlier this year, each was about $150. I still try to wear the modded one as much as I can while working from home during the quarantine.

Spoiler: Pics

I've had no issues with either, I do really like the look of the watches in the Prospex line though, if I was gonna spend a little more I'd probably have gone that route too. My personal favorite is the SRPC44, looks great on the rubber strap and might be my next purchase (a long while from now). The SRP775 you mentioned is another good one, can't go wrong there imo.

How hard is it to change a DJ strap? I think an alligator strap looks

If you have the right tools it’s very easy. Get a watch repair kit and it should have everything out of the box. (I don’t recommend anything made in China as I’ve seen the cheap metal on those tools break on the first use or worst case cause an accidental scratch on occasion).

Another word of advice, custom end links are a must with a leather conversion. IMO, that gap in between the band and case makes the watch look a little cheap.

I would invest in a pair of these, I have some on my 116520 that I converted to rubber.

15-16, and 12-13 (I think).

Daytona is gone. Can't get down with rose gold.

Almost pulled trigger on gold Sub (black face), but the polished center links are the one thing holding me back.

Like others have mentioned, I’m a sucker for the seikos. I have the SKX007, SKX009, and SKX013. I’m stalking eBay now for a SKXA35. Can’t go wrong with em IMHO.

yeah looking like seiko.
skx007 was readily available still I would've probably grabbed already.
Thoughts on the new 5 sports line? i don't go diving and it would be a do it all daily desk/work watch for me.
