I was looking at the Creation Watches website last night and bit of Googling brings up good reviews and via YouTube.

I may place an order this week for the SKX009 Pepsi.

I cant make my mind up now between the sea urchin or skx now. I really want a pepsi but they both look great in black on a black and silver nato so may end up with both now. Just have to decide which one to get in pepsi colours.

Have you looked at Deep Blue watches, they do one or two nice Pepsi's, decent spec and price.

I bought a sea urchin from creation about a year ago and their service was great. Didn't take long to arrive, although I did get stung for customs/vat, although it wasn't much.

On the subject of the watch, I've worn mine as a daily whilst working on countless cars, only removing it and pocketing it when there's been a risk of marking paintwork etc. It still looks pretty good and accuracy wise gains about 15 seconds a month. I love mine!

Not bad for the use it's been subject to..

Thanks Mike, nice Seiko, I've been happy with my Alpinist, a great watch for what it cost. You got me thinking now you mention customs charges as I was looking at Creation as they are cheaper in the first place :| I didn't really want to start paying duty as chipping aeay at any savings. Thought I'd have a look on Amazon and theres a few SKX009s for for a similar price so may stick to a UK supplier.

I originally wanted a pepsi but ended up getting an skx007. Its a nice watch for the price, has some alignment issues with the chapter ring but for a daily beater automatic you can't go wrong.

The bracelet is ok but always intended on adding a satin zuludiver nato.

My first post on this thread, but I dug out my summer watch today!

It's a summer watch because it's so bulky it doesn't really fit with sleeves. :(

It was a leaving present from my last job back in 2014, but seems appropriate for this forum! :)
