Is the place in Richmond next to LD and above TD any good? | Hmmmm your Seiko SKX007? Those are mechanical...?
Have you been wearing it often? Try shaking it side to side (dial up) to wind it. The SKX007 don't have hand/manual winding, so you gotta shake and wear it to wind it.
Unless you typed the wrong watch name.

I didn't know you guys were all here.
So my buddy offered me his slot at the Patek AD for a 5711 in blue. They said he's pretty much next and will be contacting him within a month or two. I'm seriously thinking of pulling the trigger.

^ nice watch. my friend got one and it took him a freaking 2 yrs to get one from the wait list.
Customs is customs, pay it, get taxed and never look back.
how much are you "saving" from overseas or its cause you were able to get in line that you wanted one.

Not sure why it suddenly stopped working or whats wrong..
Edit: been pretty much wearing it everyday until it stopped working | @HonestTea, you must have either the model wrong or the fact that you replaced the battery wrong. The SKX007 is a automatic mechanical watch. It does not have a battery and is powered by the movement of your wrist. Quote:

Going to do it right and buy straight from barton. | I've bought a few things from cheapestnatostraps. The quality was.. about what I expect from a site called 'cheapest nato straps'. I thought it was decent for the price. I had the stitching of one strap come loose, and they replaced it no problem and even threw in another free strap for my problems.

This is strange...so you guys are right bout the SKX007. My watched stopped working a few months back and I brought it to a guy to replace the battery, which he did. Now it stopped working last week, so not sure what the issue is...as you guys say it shouldn't be a battery issue right?
Anywhere I can bring it to get it diagnosed and fixed?

Going to do it right and buy straight from barton. | I bought a few from them as well. The stuff they carry varies greatly, so it really depends what you bought. I bought a ~$12 leather nato from them and it was the BEST leather nato I have ever tried (that being said, I haven't tried expensive leather natos).
I also bought a ~$20 leather nato from them, and it was horrible quality. Stitching fell off too.
At the end, they are just a vendor that carries a bunch of different makes/models from different suppliers. Those suppliers are hit and miss.
Their customer service is great too btw, (had a shipment that never arrived after a month, I emailed in and they resent a new package no questions asked). Quote:

Anywhere I can bring it to get it diagnosed and fixed? | I'm a little confused and worried about the "guy that replaced your battery". Considering there is NO battery in that watch. If you don't know what the issue is, bring it to any watchmaker I guess. Some offer free consultation I think? (So they will do a very basic diagnosis for free). You can also try some of the watch stores / repair stores in the malls I guess... (Stores that carry mechanical seikos, not just quartz pieces). But run away from any watchmaker who claims your SKX needs a new battery.
EDIT: forgot to mention, SKX are now discontinued. Haven't looked up recent prices for them after the discontinued announcement, but worst case scenario, buy a new one (was priced around ~$200-300), if the service cost exceeds that.

FML, I'm an idiot, I mixed it up with another watch I replaced the battery with around the same time I got my watch. So in short, no I didn't replace the battery in my SKX007 but the watch stopped working randomly. Where should I get it diagnosed?

What about Mr.W Workshop in Aberdeen Square? They helped with swapping over to an AR coated double domed crystal for my Skx007. https://www.mrwworkshop.com/ | |

Didn't even realize there was a watch service shop there. Good to know.

So I got a call from the authorized PP dealer. Looks like my 5711 is queued up and ready to go. From all the pictures I’ve seen online it looks like the dial is super dark with only a hint of blue. Not like the website pictures where it looks more like an omega aqua Terra blue.

Found the Patek AD in Houston and low and behold a gold 5711  
The rolex AD also had a Daytona in stock lawl. 
If I didn't have my 5711 on order I'd probably pickup this one up.

What are your guy's thoughts on the Speedmaster 311.30.44.50.01.002?
It seems to check off all the boxes of what is just a bit missing from the standard moonwatch: automatic winding, date window, COSC certification. But it seems to go for less than your standard moonwatch.
Doing a bit of research the downsides are the larger 44mm modern speedy size and the debated 3313 movement.
There's one available on CWC and I am tempted...

i love my speedy! such a historically significant piece. I prefer Hesilite acrylic glass and manual winding. The winding action is very smooth and feels amazing. If it was automatic i think it detracts quite a bit of the original intention for the watch.
The saphire sandwich is also something im not a big fan of.
