Pawn shop are usually for those who urgently needs cash. Hence the low ball price. Those who can wait will sell their watches themselves.

Humble peasant watch beginner here. Got the Orient Bambino over at bencoolen just a few months ago and I'm enjoying every bit of it.

Thinking of hooting an skx007 to add to my watch collection next. Any experts here can advise me on the following?

  • Difference between K and J models? Why the huge price difference if it's just the '21 Jewels' and 'Made in Japan'?
  • Current price now? I'm guessing it's around $200-$250 for the K model?
  • Want to pair it with a bond NATO strap, any watch shops which sell them so I can get both the watch and the strap and change it on the spot? Kill 2 birds with 1 stone :s13:

Hoping I can pair my skx007 with my office wear too just like my bambino. Just afraid that it will look outta place cos my bambino is a dress watch while the skx is a diver :s22:

nice blue dial bambino! I got the white one haha.

regarding your J and K models, this youtube video will explain it all
here

it's not much, just where it's assembled, that's all. They have the same movement! I guess you can check skywatches for a rough gauge for watches without thong sia warranty.

I think 3D watches in bencoolen might have? I know they sell straps but not sure. Can try getting from taobao, about $8 and the quality not bad! Anw, watch strap should try to change yourself - it's quite a fun and easy experience :)
