Horological Meandering

About a month ago I took delivery on a Seiko SKX011J1 dive watch. My understanding is that this particular model with the DOXA ORANGE face is only available through the Japanese market. Before I get into the minutia of my report, let me first say how much...  

Are the hour and minute hands in gold metal? Believe it or not, I think that I got exact the same watch recently. I was chasing this one for years. Cheers, Nilo

... Yes, the hands are gold and the bezel markings are also gold-ish. I didn't have to chase too much... found it on Amazon. Ended up buying one for my brother too. He's very happy - like a Cheshire Cat grinning ear to ear. - Scott

We share the same watch model. Here is quite hard to find. As soon I have time I go to take some pics. Mine was with a metal bracelet (removed pronto) and is with a nice vintage looks leather strap. Cheers, Nilo

For the price point its probably the best value for money watch in its price range and even beats some more expensive priced watches dare I say it. Been really impressed with my Monster

... agree with you. The value is unparalleled. I am looking at getting a blue monster next! Cheers. - Scott
