Thread: New arrival.. (Seiko content)

  1. #1

    New arrival.. (Seiko content)

    Decided to give the skx013 a go.. its on the wrist and feeling pretty darn small.. not sure if I'm liking it or not..

    It's probably the right size, but I'm just not used to something so diddy.. I don't wear big watches, my main one being a Zenith De Luca, but this is a few mm's smaller..

    Just need to be patient and give it a proper go..

    Had one of these & liked it well enough but always felt it too tall/thick for its diameter (it's the same thickness as the larger SKX007) - I ended up selling it quite soon after buying it .................. sorry but this probably doesn't help you much :(

    I'd say give the watch a couple of weeks wear & see how you feel about it after that :)

    I think the strap is what I dislike. The watch itself is great. I think a NATO/Perlon would sort that out and make it look much better.

    That is fine. I have small wrists too, but decided to go for the SKX009J as firstly I want the pepsi bezel and secondly the case is quite tall so suited something slightly bigger than the 13. It wears reasonably small.

    I still sometimes wonder if it is large, but again I think it is the height rather than the lug-to-lug or bezel/dial size.

    Perhaps go with a 2 piece NATO so you are not adding to the height.

    Had a few of these over the years and although smaller than the 007, as suggested ditch the rubber and get it on a nato... the case size might grow on.

    Ive been the same with my sarb033 over the last few weeks, im almost decided on letting it go and putting the money towards something a little bigger. I think 39mm-42mm is my sweetspot.
