Thanks for everyone’s comments. I’m favouring the 009 but now the question is whether to get a J or K? Does it make any difference?
Wanted Seiko Advice Please

J or K makes no real difference. One is made in Japan, the other isn’t. Die hards see it as a big deal and it gives you a different second language option for the day/date, but that’s about it.
One thing with Seiko is to ignore the measurement. They nearly always wear smaller than the measurement suggests.
Worth finding some pics of models you like the look of and popping them in and having a think about metal bracelet vs leather or rubber and then quartz vs automatic. Should get you halfway dowj the funnel.

Agree. If you just want to enjoy the watch and don't care about collecting/reselling it makes near-zero difference.
Considering they are no longer produced, I'd go with what you find.
The 009'd dial is slightly blue, while the 007 is black.
I hate the jubilee bracelets too.

I've got one of these and it was my daily wear, but I got tired of its lack of accuracy. Seiko serviced it, but its still out by the end of the week. Looks fabulous. Switched to a citizen quartz which is second accurate all the time.
Mine was similar, but has now dropped to a minute a day, which isn't so good. I'll take Davros' advice though and let Seiko have it for a service. It's 25 years old, so probably due.
