You're looking at a modded SKX173, which is a somewhat rare variant of the SKX007, and very similar to the SKX399. It has the same case dimensions / features as the 007, with a different dial and seconds hand. It was offered as a US-market only version, and produced in Malaysia. It

This is my take on an "supermod", using an OEM dial, case, chapter ring, bezel and handset, paired up with a brand new regulated NH36 movement, sapphire crystal, and ceramic insert. It received a like-new bezel - the original had some deeper scratches, and got a mild cleaning and a new caseback gasket along the way.

To improve ergonomics, the case gains a slim brushed caseback from tokeilab, and it's sitting on a strapcode oyster bracelet. Watch is under 13mm thick now, compared to 13.5 for OEM.

Basically - the watch received all the modern upgrades you'd want for a great everyday tool watch, surpassing the newer SRPD/5kx series in the process.

Condition

Case and bracelet show minor wear - minor desk diving marks on the polished surfaces. Nothing to distract when it's on the wrist, but the watch doesn't present like safe queen. Similarly, the dial has a tiny bit of UV fading / patina, crystal mutes the effects, and it's very hard to capture in photos, but it's got a bit of character. Other parts are in great shape.

Movement is brand new, and regulated to ~8s/day.
