I think it's just a labelling difference as you say.............
...to satisfy the importation laws of US and perhaps Canada......i think the J vs K is much ado about nothing
that is perpetuated by zero evidence......afaik the
case and movement of the same watch are looked at as seperate entites by US customs and i think the labelling of imported watches has to reflect that.....newer model 200m diver like skxa35 sez 'movm't Singapore' on bottom of dial now too, where 173 i think jus said it on caseback........
