Evidence of SKX Price and Manufacturing Start Date

Hi,

Looking for help to confirm the original price of the SKX013 and SKX009 and original manufacturing start of the SKX013 and SKX007. No luck with the archives of Seiko Catalogs (Seiko Guy) or Seiko Library (Seiko Watch Hunger) lookeing btw 1996-2000 and many Google searches.

Articles have mentioned their introduction in 1996, but again, no factual references.

Hoping folks here might be in the know or regarding the price have receipts around 1996.

Why am I looking? Curiosity and I'm writing a personal archive article.

I got help dating an old Seiko on the Seiko sub forum. Good luck.

Hi, following up myself. I've got an email back from Seiko Canada confirming the introduction of both watches in 1996. Also, the SKX009 was priced at $595 CAD which in Jan 1996 would be ~ $435.18 USD. Unfortunately, nothing on the SKX013 pricing as it was never sold in Canada.

Next, I'll try writing to Seiko Japan and the Seiko US.
