Incoming! Take your guess

Post by srs1286 »

Bit of a curveball for me but I've been looking at this brand and watch for quite some time. Initially I didn't understand the cult appeal and I'm sure I even voiced what I didn't like about on the forum at one time or another. Well after looking at it long enough, the quirks I found unappealing actually turned to charming and unique. Probably giving too much away at this point but for all in $185.00, can't come up with any reason to stare at it any longer. Incoming!

Now what is it?

Wearing my SKX009 K1 today and loving it. Never seems to lose its appeal! The perfect beater watch in my opinion.

^^^ Great to hear! My concern has always been the side view with the rounded case and double notching on the bezel. It used to irritate me but my opinion has evolved into seeing it as a unique design feature now. We'll see how it looks in the flesh but I am pretty excited to handle it.

Intrigued to hear your thoughts, I have thought similar things about the SKX007/009/013.

Looks like I am going to have to wait a bit. Just received an email they are on backorder for 1-2 weeks.

Builds the anticipation I suppose. Maybe I will forget I ordered it and be a complete surprise... then again maybe I will check order status daily :lol: .
