Hello WUS, my first automatic arrived yesterday and I had some spare time to take a few pictures.
I had been switching between a G-shock and Seiko Quartz Dress for about a year and I thought my watch needs were met... until someone unexpectedly gave me an Ipod Touch for Christmas, which I promptly sold... which gave me $200 bucks to blow on something cool... stumbled on this forum and fell in love at first sight with this sweet seiko diver.
This SKX007K is on Will Jean's Super Oyster Type II. I got it used and there is an anoying speck of dust under the crystal near the 'Day' window, but its small enough to not bother me too much. Also, the very hefty SOII fits a little awkwardly on my 6.25'' wrist because the clasp is so large... again not too big of an annoyance. I feel myself already compelled to add to my collection... but I must resist haha... looking forward to learning much more on the fora.

Lovin' all the beautiful 007's and 009's (and variations on the theme...great thread).
One in the SKX007 family...the SKX399...I just ordered one of Will's Super Oyster II's and cannot wait to see it on the 399.

There was so much talk of "personality test: 007 vs Monster" and some Monster fans just brought up a new "Post your monster pic" thread that I thought we should even out the competition...and then there were some old "Oranges thread", "Sumo thread", etc...
Add to that, quite a few new peeps on board the S&C forum... so bumping old thread for them to feast their eyes on.
I don't have one now but here's my most recent "SOLD: SKX007" pic....
