Wearing a new arrival today...the rare Seiko SKX399k...

You guys have been tempting me with your SKX007's and SKX009's...just a classic seiko diver design...I was about to jump on an SKX007 when this very seemingly rare (IMO) SKX399 came up...I decided to jump.

I'm really liking the case design and the unique SKX399 chrome surrounded "placed indices" on the dial.  I think this may be my favorite of this case design....

Some Q&D's...I'll try to post up some better pics by the weekend.





And that great Seiko Lume...

Congrats Chris! I like it a lot... What are the differences b/w this model and the 007/009? Aside from the different and surrounded indices? Is the size the same?

same mvt?

Thx

I happen to have my 009 so you made me want to switch:)

Jeff and Brice...thanks for the kind words and Congrats!!thankyou.gif

I'm liking the classic lines on this one quite a bit!!

Brice (and Daniel asked similar question yesterday) - The SKX399 has the same case design and size as the 007's and 009's.  This one also runs on Seiko's venerable 7s26 movement.  Also has the same "reverse ball" seconds hand.

My understanding on this one is that is was produced specifically for the Phillipine market with the only difference being the shape and type of indices on the matte Black/Charcoal colored dial "placed indices with chrome surrounds".  Oh...a minor thing I know, but it appears the 399 (and the SKX173) is the only one with a small lume marker to the right of the day/date window...go figure?

Interestingly enough, I had also been looking at the SKX173, which as I understand was produced specifically for the North American market, has straight "non-round" indices, but they are the painted on type like the SKX007 has.  The SKX173 has a "forward ball" seconds hand which is different from the 399, 007, and 009.

There are certainly quite a number of SKX models with this case design that Seiko produced for different world markets...all cool IMO.
