A WATCH FROM THE HORO-HEAVENSeiko watches always look and feel a piece of precision and sturdy engineering and nothing perhaps – other than the Grand Seiko – demonstrates that better than the SKX009J1. It’s an excellent 7S26, 21-jewel automatic movement that drives it and the big, unidirectional timer bezel makes the watch a terrific deal! The very bright, long-lasting lume is an added advantage (eight to ten hours glow). It makes the Seiko SKX009J truly a Diver’s watch and not just a beater with an over-inflated ‘Dive Watch’ image.TWO SIDES TO THE SKX STORYBoth Seiko SKXK and the Seiko SKXJ models look identical at a quick glance. The differences they bear are extremely subtle; you really need to give yourself a few days to find them out. But if you want to find them right away the following lines are for you.The first difference you’ve already noticed (the K and the J), else you wouldn’t be reading this. Urban myths say the J is a reference to the fact that it is entirely designed, made and assembled in Japan, whereas the K is a reference to its assembling done either in Singapore, or at South Korea or in Malaysia. There’s also another school of thought that says the J and the K denotes the market the watch was intended for and not where it was manufactured.What does Seiko has to say about it? According to them, the letter J indicates the watch is ‘Made/Assembled in Japan’. You’ll also find it mentioned on the case back. The K watches are usually made in Malaysia, without a mention of ‘Movement Japan’ or ‘Japan Movement’ like the SKXJ.QUICK FACTSJ model, if you find one with Kanji, it will denote a JDM.All J models are sold in Eastern Europe or Middle-east countries(indicated by the alternate Day language);Models for US or European markets are K models or non-suffix models.BREAK DOWN ON EACH FEATURE Different dials: Not exactly but the additional text indeed strike a difference. The K version of the SKX009 doesn’t have the jewel count mentioned on the dial, neither ‘Made in Japan’.The Case: The SKXJ case feels better in its make and the finishing is slightly sharper and better in terms of quality, as found through the loupe The case back: The Seiko SKXJ has JAPAN WP mentioned at the bottom of the case back, at the left of the model number. The K variation has just WP (factory code) mentioned.THE SEIKO SKXJ VS. SKXK - WHICH ONE WOULD YOU PREFER?Looking at the above points, you can be sure that SKXJ is a slightly better choice if you care about aesthetics. But also know that the SKXK is more obtainable than the SKXJ.
Seiko Automatic Diver's SKX009 SKX009K1 SKX009K Men's Watch
With the DNA of the Seiko 6xxx diver watches, the SKX009 retain the tool watch designation of the Vietnam era. There is no difference you can detect with naked eye; however, it’s a subtle change in the case shape and index dimensions thatstrikes the difference. The 7S26 automatic movement is decent and reliable and has powered some significant Seiko Divers. An amazing mechanical stuff out here!

Really happy with my experience with DownUnderWatches. The price was very good, and even though they are not local to me, postage was still quick. When I realised I needed to change the delivery address after purchase, their team sorted it out quickly, which I really appreciated.
The watch itself has been great so far. It fits well, feels comfortable on the wrist, and has a solid, durable feel to it. I work a very physical and wet job, so I wanted something tough and practical that could handle daily use. So far, it looks like it will last me for some time.
The red display is a little harder to read in low light, but I knew that was part of the aesthetic going in, and for me it is worth it. Overall, very happy.

Fantastic
Everything was what I hoped. Ease of purchase and delivery was super quick.
In response to your request for a review on my purchase from DOWNUNDERWATCHES I can say the following, I address myself for this particular watches to DOWNUNDERWATCHES since they claim to be Australia's premier online watches store. This particular model is not available in store in Australia, not that I know off, therefore the advertised Australia's premier online watch store induce me to believe that the item was available in Australia but only from online orders. It turn out not to be so but from Singapore apparently. So, the claim that delivery is made within three days turn out to be three weeks. This detail should be indicated clearly to people in Australia. Other than that the delivery was made by DHL and the watch received in good condition some ten days latter. The watch is exactly as I expected it would be, well packaged, no complaint whatsoever to make about it. It would be better for the retailer to indicate that the delivery to Australia will required two weeks instead of saying next to day of dispatching leaving the impression that the goods is from an Australian distributor which physically it is not. Orient watches are not well represented in Australia by retailers if not at all. Seiko dominates the market amongst other brand. Orient is no more made in Japan as it was in the past, the factory with the name Epson is now in Thailand, the product is still of high quality and genuine as it has been expected from the original manufacturer in previous years from Japan. Epson has absorbed the brand name Orient which remains nevertheless a high quality product originally exclusively from Japan. Orient watches are of high quality until today.
Hi Patrice,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re glad the watch arrived in good condition and met your expectations. We also appreciate your notes about delivery times and origins—this helps us improve how we communicate shipping details for our Australian customers.
The watch was as good as I expected, being refurbished and works accurately with minor blemishes. "Downunderwatches" is Singapore based, so I was surprised to have to pay additional fees for the foreign import.
Hi Herman,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear the watch is working well and meets your expectations. We understand the surprise with the import fees and appreciate your understanding regarding international shipping.
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the quality and value. It means a lot to us knowing our customers are satisfied.
Best Regards,
