Anybody know what the differences is? I just ordered the SKX 007 reimported from Amazon and it looks fine to me. I wish I can take some pictures with my phone but for some reason my phone is out of commission.

They are all the same watch. skx007 refers to the model.The one with J suffix was manufactured in Japan. The one with K2 suffix was manufactured in Korea and the 2 refers to the type of bracelet supplied. When possible, I try to get a j version of any Seiko. I have the Skx009J2

I have the Skx009J2 The "K" models are made in Malaysia. At least every "K" I own is. Anyway, the "J" models can be fun when the alternate days are in Kanji. They are also typically more expensive due to market perception. edit: I've also learned that Singapore and Hong Kong may be involved in either manufacturing or casing as well.

I believe the SKX 009 has the red/black bezel. The SKX 007 has the all black bezel. Both have the 7S26 movement. I've read that the k versions are made in Malaysia and Korea, but these models do not have the 'Made in Japan' just below the chapter ring on the SKX007 J. See mine below.
