Nice video mate. It's good to see that yours doesn't have the slight stem issue mine has. As for the pressed clasp, I swapped mine out for a milled one. I have separate videos showing both of these. I actually got mine from the Addies Store on AliExpress.

Wearing my SKX and getting noticed about this video, nice. This is very interesting, and I'm looking forward to your final review. When hearing you mentioning the measurements it seems that this one is slightly smaller than the original (think it's 42.5 IIRC)? Not that I mind, 41 mm is actually a better size for my tiny wrists.

I had an SKX009 (same just Pepsi bezel) , but sold it (silly me) for different reasons. In a way I miss it, eventhough the weight and looseness of the bracelet made it flop a bit around on my wrist. Bracelet was a bit naff but the links themselves were solid and not that bad. My watch had movement problems, and I had the movement swapped, but that darn mineral crystal got a big scratch - I didnt even know what happened. At about 100 pounds, this gives a (apparantly) better movement, sapphire and a lumed bezel. I think you have convinced me :)

@@himashwitharana3263 I got the blue SD1996 . Bracelet is good but watch case I find it exceptional. Bezel movement is as good if not better than bezel from 300-400$ watches : OBRIS MORGAN , ARMIDA , HELM VANUATU . Just my 2 cents Lume is also good towards very good ! Fit and finish perfect !

I have the Islander 38mm and the crown guards are a little sharp on that as well. I think they all come from the same factory, tbh. My SKX also feels a little sharp, but it's larger so not as problematic. It isn't hand wind-able however so it doesn't matter.

Slip a bit of emery paper to get rid of the edge. These 007s are serious money now when they are modded. I'd like to get this and mod it with a 12 hour gmt bezel. Oh and a butterfly clasp on an Archer seat belt strap. Going to buy it today and mod it

@Malik Martin, I don't want to get in a "P" contest with you. I feel the Islander is better made. Do you know own one? More importantly, price is not the issue for me. Frankly, I bought the Islander for a beater watch when I go sailing. Typically, I buy watches in a much higher price catagory. So we are arguing apples and oranges. Buy what you like and I will spend my money how I choose. No more, no less.
