The same watch as the SKX007 and the SKX009
except that it’s orange and made in Japan. I bought my first one in the end of
March 2011 and kept it unmodified and put on a 22mm shark mesh instead of its
stock V-vented Z-22 rubber. I hate the V-vent. Unfortunately I never took a
photo of this watch before I sold it.

My friend Magnus also bought one for himself
when I got mine but he went on to modify it of course. He replaced the gold
hands with black SKX-hands, replaced the insert with a brushed steel insert
from Yobokies and put it on an all brushed jubilee bracelet. No advance stuff
but those three changes made it look like another watch. I loved it and persuaded
him to sell it to me.

I wore it on the jubilee but also on a flat
vent Z-22 rubber. The flat vent I love.
One more modification was made before I decided
to go on and sell it. There was a slight color deviation between the lume on
the hands and the hour markers on the dial. Stuff like that drives me crazy. So
the hands had to be switched out and Magnus replaced them with a set of regular
polished SKX-hands. I also tried to fit it on a Yobokies president bracelet.
That piece of shit was really thick, rigid and uncomfortable. The original
Seiko president bracelet is much looser and has a more vintage feel to it
without being too thin and delicate.
