This watch feels very solid, and worth every penny. The customer service from Mark was super good and my bezel isn't grotesquely unaligned like some of them supposedly can be. This would be a phenomenal watch if you're just getting into collection or if you're a seasoned watch collector.

Great watch in spite of the well known qc issues. Mine has the chapter ring that shifts slightly when shaken. I had initially wanted to return it, to which Marc at LIW was helpful in facilitating, but have decided to keep it since it is not that big of a deal. One thing that does irk me, is that it loses 30ish seconds per day when worn (less when rested crown up at night). But I plan to swap out the movement for the seiko hacking/handwinding version at some point.

Very happy with the order watch showed up within the time the shipping order said it would. The staff was very nice to deal with and the watch is in very nice shape. Only problem was the chapter ring is not aligned but that’s expected with these watches.

Sweet watch, fairly straight bezel haha, averaging +2sec a day. Arrived faster than stated at time of puchase, another win from Mark at long island watch!

Thx mark. Love the watch!!! I put a nato strap on it and couldn’t be happier. I will be ordering a orient defender next.

Not a hard sell, I know how nice this watch is. My old one started acting up, after 15 years, sent off for repair so bought this one. Best price I could find online. Received very fast. Extremely happy with the purchase. Thanks to the people at Island Watch.

I really like the SKX007 that I purchased from Marc at LIW. The bezel and chapter ring line up great and after about 3 weeks the time has settled down to about +10/15 secs a day. I read review after review on the SKX007/009 vs the SKX013 and was really torn about which watch would look best on my wrist, but I'm glad I got the larger 007 vs the 013. The dial is deep and beautiful with fantastic LumiBrite on the dial and it is just a treat to look at. The Jubilee bracelet is kind of jangly, but is very comfortable and fits great after removing 2 links. I guess my only wish for this watch would be hand winding and a sapphire crystal. The hand winding I can live without and if the crystal gets scratched I'll buy a press and put on a sapphire crystal. I was also torn between the Orient RayII but in the end the classic SKX won me over. I also feel confident if I have any issues that Long Island Watch will promptly address them and my future watch purchases will also come from LIW.

I'm extremely happy with this watch and would gladly give it five stars, as it was exactly advertised. Unfortunately, that included the side effects of a mass produced watch: low quality control. The chapter ring is slightly out of alignment. I was hoping, based on rave reviews, that Island Watch would catch this, but maybe asking too much. I'll take it and get it better aligned when I have a chance.

Obviously, this depends on how large of a watch you are comfortable wearing. Me, male, 6'2", 170 pounds, 6-1/4 inch wrist. I've worn an SKX-013 (when my wife wasn't wearing it). It certainly "fit" me. But it just didn't have that iconic SKX "look" that I wanted. So I bought the 007 for myself, and I could not be happier with it. As far as the "look" goes, the major difference between the two is that the lugs on the 013 are longer, compared to the size of the dial. This gives the 007/009 a "chunkier" look. I'm also a fan of the stock bracelet.

Everything about the purchase was fantastic. The ease of use of the site, the quickness of the delivery, and the quality of the packing and product.

Excellent service and fast delivery to Australia. Will definitely purchase from again in the future. Thanks!

I couldn't be happier. The watch is flawless ... everything I had hoped-for. Nothing out of alignment ... the Jubilee bracelet "punches way above its weight" cost-wise ... and the watch typically gains just about five seconds per day. And the minute hand doesn't twitch when you push-in the crown after setting the time (to the second, after back hacking once a week)! The totally-wonderful $5 shipping to Canada (if you aren't in a hurry) is the icing on the cake. Two thumbs-up from a delighted customer. Plus, the owner responds to emails promptly. What's not-to-like, eh?

I brought a SKX007 from the scratch and dent section with about a $35 discount from regular price at the time. It was scratch and dent because it was was overhauled which I thought would be a good thing as it should be up to spec. Problem is this watch gains time quickly, about 5 minutes every 3 days but what really jerks me is that it only lasts about 12-14 hours after wearing it so it runs down much quicker than the 40 hour spec it's supposed to have. Don't know if the previous owner returned it because of the same issues and it's actually not fixed or this is normal variance but this doesn't cut it as far as being worth the money these days. Not sure if the one I have is a dud that should not have been sold or this is normal in this range.
