Inheriting the legacy of the SKX : Seiko 5KX Review ( SBSA003 / SRPD53K1 ) Seiko 5 Sports

Whether you call it a 5KX or just the New Seiko 5 Sports. Here it is.
Gnomon has a whole line of JDM versions, but my advice is to wait.

This is the SBSA003 which is a JDM version of the SRPD53K1

Today is the day we are taking a look at the new Seiko 5, or as some are calling them, the Seiko 5KX. As their inspiration is after the now-departed SKX line. Yet these aren't true divers like the SKX007, but rather dive style watches like the Ice Monster.
The good news is they keep the SKX proportions at 42mm wide, yet use the newer 4r36 ( NH36A ) movement. So are the tradeoffs worth it? Find out in this review before you buy one. Either one of the JDM releases like this or one of the others like the SRPD51.
