Yikes, no matter how fast I work on these I seem to fall behind.
Then again, I've blown all my money buying on Yahoo Japan recently, so I should get a chance to catch up soon!
Anyhow here is a package from an eBay seller I've never bought from before, "clm1002".
A small box inside.
Huh, a 3-month warranty?! You don't that very often. You probably just have to pay the postage both ways!
A some padding...
A bubble watch-sicle!
And there it is, the very seldom seen Seiko SKX003, a mid-sized 7S26 powered diver with 20mm lugs even though it is much smaller than the usual SKX007.
There are four models in the series, the SKX001 (black on bracelet), this SKX003 (black on rubber), the blue dialed SKX005 and the white and gold SKX006. Did you even know about these?
There is the crown side.
The other, plain side.
The case=back view.
And here it is next to my SKX005, which has a wild dial texture of "cloud" shaped concentric rings, that get larger in thickness as they radiate from the center.
Hey, looking at this picture, I just realized this is an SKX003J, because it has the 21 Jewels and Made In Japan text on the dial! Wow, that's cool!
Of course, I love the size!
I'll have to investigate what bracelet will make this into an SKX001...Sigh... I thought I was going to get two unveilings done tonight, but my homemade Bacon Mac & Cheese is calling me, and then there's the Met's game.
I'll root for anyone who is playing against the Dodgers!!
Thanks for looking in!
