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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTWO SIDES TO THE SKX STORY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth Seiko SKX\u003cstrong\u003eK\u003c\/strong\u003e and the Seiko SKX\u003cstrong\u003eJ\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first difference you’ve already noticed (the \u003cstrong\u003eK\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eJ\u003c\/strong\u003e), else you wouldn’t be reading this. Urban myths say the \u003cstrong\u003eJ\u003c\/strong\u003e is a reference to the fact that it is entirely designed, made and assembled in \u003cstrong\u003eJapan\u003c\/strong\u003e, whereas the K is a reference to its assembling done either in \u003cstrong\u003eSingapore\u003c\/strong\u003e, or at \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Korea\u003c\/strong\u003e or in \u003cstrong\u003eMalaysia\u003c\/strong\u003e. There’s also another school of thought that says the \u003cstrong\u003eJ\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eK\u003c\/strong\u003e denotes the market the watch was intended for and not where it was manufactured.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat 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 \u003cstrong\u003eK\u003c\/strong\u003e watches are usually made in Malaysia, without a mention of ‘\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Japan\u003c\/strong\u003e’ or ‘\u003cstrong\u003eJapan Movement\u003c\/strong\u003e’ like the SKXJ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQUICK FACTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJ model, if you find one with Kanji, it will denote a JDM.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll J models are sold in Eastern Europe or Middle-east countries(indicated by the alternate Day language);\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eModels for US or European markets are K models or non-suffix models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBREAK DOWN ON EACH FEATURE \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDifferent 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 ‘\u003cstrong\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/strong\u003e’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Case\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe case back\u003c\/strong\u003e: The Seiko SKXJ has JAPAN WP mentioned at the bottom of the case back, at the left of the model number. The \u003cstrong\u003eK\u003c\/strong\u003e variation has just \u003cstrong\u003eWP\u003c\/strong\u003e (factory code) mentioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE SEIKO SKXJ VS.
