Seiko SKX009 vs Seiko SNZ15KI

    Hi, just looking for an opinion on a couple of things as I know nothing about watches!

    Looking to buy 2 watches either SKX007 & 09 or SNZ15KI & 17K1 (want a black bezel and a pepsi bezel)

    The SNZ on amazon is €165 and the SKX €235. Just wondering what people would go for at these prices? What are peoples opinions on both? On creation watches SKX is €165 but with customs and taxes I assume wouldn't be far off the Amazon price?

    Some reviews seem to criticize the Seiko bracelet on both models. Does a quality bracelet make it look better and is it worth it and if so Can people suggest a quality bracelet and would the SKX and SNZ fit the same bracelet?

    Any feedback would be appreciated.


    Cheers!

    I'd go for the SKX all day long. I have the 009K2 with a Pepsi Bezel. I think the blue face goes better with the blue on the bezel.

    The jubilee bracelet for me is fine, although I don't really have anything more upmarket to compare it too, I alternate between it and a NATO strap.

    It's a beautiful watch and looks even better in person IMO.

    I have the skx007 & 009 .Both are among my favourite watches The jubilee strap is very comfy and the 007 looks great with nearly any colour nato or leather strap .

    Thanks I've pulled the trigger on the SKX 009 with the jubillee bracelet.

    Want to see what I think of this first before deciding whether or not to go with the 007.

    I'm leaning towards the SNZ and then putting on a black sailcloth with white stitching, copying the below video @ 14.10. I think it looks top notch.
