- Skx k vs j the age old question that has been answered many times. Skx007 will be the same story. Marc at Long Island Watch covered this topic the best I think.

Yup, French as a second language. Have the SKX009J myself, also ordered from Marc at LIW. The J model was a personal preference and something I wanted to have in the collection. I really do like seeing the "Made in Japan" on the dial, and the case finishing is indeed a little nicer - but otherwise hard to tell the difference from K models. Though it may not justify the $40-50 price bump for some, I feel it was worth it.
Treated myself to a Christmas present and bought a Seiko 009skxJ from Marc at Long Island Watch. Marc is outstanding. He changed the crystal for me to Sapphire. Replaced the bezel to solid blue ceramic with lume, and swapped out the chapter ring to blue. Then I installed a Hexad watch band to make it more beefier. Now that's my kind of watch!!
Great pick up, classic well built watch
Hey Rob. Nice vid! Hope your settling into your new studio. All looks great!!!
Thanks bro. I still don’t really have a spot. This is me just making vids when and where I can.
like these watches but for some reason I'm ready to go quartz, tired of winding up a watch after I put it down for a day or two..... love the IKBS bearing too on flippers..... way too many watches and pocket knives..... good luck on the videos
in fact I'm wearing a Casio AE-1000 World Time watch now with an orange band, TEN YEAR battery from Walmart that goes for around $23.00 fantastic
I think thr 21 jewels text makes the dial more balanced
Both are great models but there was something that drew me to the J model. Something deeper than mere aesthetics
I’ve been happy with all my K Seiko’s and I haven’t noticed any difference from the J’s myself. I sent you a DM Rob for the Seiko SRPB07 that you have for sale on your Instagram page. Thanx buddy!
Been looking for these, especially the 007 and 009 J models since I am in Japan. I went to a big Seiko store in Shinjuku, Tokyo and these are NOT available in Japan anymore. Only made for the overseas market. So I am not sure how to best locate the J models except via the internet.
I have seen a skx009KD reimportation model on Amazon . Is that different than the Malaysian SKXK or Japanese SKXJ models. Thanks for informative videos.
Looks like the bevels are more pronounced on the J version. I have a J with jubilee from the factory, love it.
The only difference is that retailers charge more for the J. That makes people think there must be a difference and then they convince themselves that there is. Retailers are taking advantage of people because of this. If everyone just opted to buy the K, the J's would eventually come down in price and cost as much as the K's. Like they should.
Thanks for the vid! The SKX in any form is a great watch! Have that Omega yet?
No omega, ditched that plan. Guess I should make that vid soon cause many keep asking.
Nice review presentation on the Seiko skx009j.
Question I see the skx009k and skx009j the same ? Is the J more desirable because Japan?
and I really want the skx007
but since the 009j is a great price right now I'm going to pull the trigger
Can I swap the skx009j Pepsi Bezel to skx007 Black ?
I've been living with the 009K for a year now and the power reserve has always been horrendous. Bought brand new and it only holds about 14 hours reserve after days of wearing it on the move, with additional shakes before I lay it down. Thinking of buying the J model now as this issue is ruining it for me :(
Definitely buy the J model.
I really liked the comparison...So there really is no meaningful difference. The 2nd language on the K version is French. Thank you for another excellent video :)
French, got it. I am silly American that doesn’t know any other language.
Does your bezel sit flushed with the crystal or is it a hair higher? Looks it's like it's just a small amount of height to it.
The difference between the K and the J is negligible. Still, for sentimental reasons I got the 007J. My youngest was “Made In Japan” - so to speak 😬 - while we were living there so I wanted the MIJ dial. The compelling argument against the J is cost, but I was able to get one for the same price as a K from a vendor in Singapore with the help of a discount code, so that was a wash. Will add a 009 to the collection eventually, probably the K...unless I can find a J for the same price as the K again.
Does the movement in the J version have JAPAN written on it? What does the movement in the K version have on it?
Have you bought the seamaster or Sinn556a yet?
The K version you where you checked the second language , it had German and not Spanish. Haven't noticed a huge difference between the J models and the K models. Some small finishing details, and as you pointed out, the marking on the dial.
Jeff said it’s French. Guess I need to figure it out. Either way it’s not Spanish I know that now, haha.
@@RandomRobReviewsI thought it was German as when you go to Saturday and Sunday, Samstag is Saturday in German and Sunday is Sonntag in German. I could list up the rest of the days, but when you check the days, and you see "SAM" on Saturday it is German or French, as in French Saturday is Samedi and Sunday is Dimanche. So it is possible I saw wrong, maybe the language was French, but if I remember correctly Friday was German Freitag and not Vendredi, as is French. But VERY possible that I saw wrong..😀 I would trust the owner rather than me!!
@@DrFrankLondon English / French
I have the 007K and 009J, the strange thing is my strapcode super jubilee fits the 007 but not 009. Comparing the two i would say my 009J has a better bezel action and the lug finish seems fractionally better but they are both a few years apart manufacturing date wise.
The SKX009J has a 60-click bezel and the "K" has 120-click is it right?
@@jankabelak5531 nope they are both 120 click
@@j8sdx Ok, I have "K" version - there is 120 clicks. And my new "J" version is only 60. There must be problem with bezel :-(
@@jankabelak5531 probably the click spring or gasket, I have 007k, 009j and 011j and all have 120 click bezels
Sama aja bos, beda tulisan "21 jewels" sma kalender doang, selebihnya sama aja.
I’m pretty sure Spencer Klein said there’s no difference. I’m absolutely sure Jason Heaton said it.
I ordered the upgraded movement the same day I ordered my 007.
What movement sir?
Agree with you Rob. My K model Monster has better QC than my J model SKX that has paint/lume splatter on the dial. It's the luck of the draw with Seikos I guess. By the way I have a CRKT Ikoma Fossil in the mail. It's a crazy looking knife..
Have wanted to see that crkt fossil
@@RandomRobReviews I've ordered the compact version with serrations. If I like that one I might get the full sized version without the serrations as well. Looking forward to your knife reviews if you decide to do some.
My K's are exactly like J, 's unless I happen to have a magnifying glass in my hand and look very very closely at the bottom of the dial.
@Daniel Cloete or one of those glasses the toy-fixer-grampa wore in Toy Story 2
I see you got the cheaper version.
This is French, not Spanish..
Thanks. It’s great that I messed up cause you guys are right on it to help me out.
That new K ver. date wheel isn't Spanish.
Gotcha. I really don’t know other languages at all.
As for my J ver. the movement sounds a lot tighter. I have the snk809, snkk87 and the snzg15, their movements make more sounds. Personally I think the J ver. is better.
J is better . I have both and I can agree with you.
The SKX is not officially even sold in Japan, and most certainly not made there. Only SKX's you can find in Japan are grey market imports.
There should be a reason that j model cost more than the k model and the j model only come with rubber strap.My assumption that labour cost and gst in japan is the reason .Jdm model is more superior in term of quality and is limited in production.Seiko is just cashing in JDM goodwill value.
Mine is the K model
K is the way. Both are cool, I could see if someone wanted that “21 Jewels” and “made in Japan” on the dial.
How much skx009j
Can anyone tell me how I can ensure I get the one with the Arabic days?
The Japanese model (SNK009J) has Arabic and English days, while the K model (SNK009K) offers English and Spanish.
I have a K model with Arabic?! In Japan the sort often models are K but everywhere else ppl like the J…strange but excellent marketing.
Hmmm, my 009k has Spanish for a second language. Wonder why yours is French?
It’s super rare and worth way more? Haha.
They are both made in the same factory in Malaysia. J model is made for the Middle East, which has less strict laws on what you can label as Made in Japan. This is also why it has Arabic. If it was made for Japanese market, it would have had Japanese instead. Language is just for the region it's made for.
I have a K model with Arabic so how does your theory work that one out?
Why the seiko 5 logo?
It’s a seiko 5........
@@RandomRobReviews the skx can't be a seiko 5
@@hubalahu why are you so sure you can tell seiko what their watches are?
K all day
Second language is french
J all day😁
One says MADE IN JAPAN quite clearly for a start and the other does not. Why do you clink them together for crying out loud which will produce dinks and scratches? 😣😎😣
There's a major misalignment between the hour and minute hands on the J model. Typical seiko.
