Just a variation in the bracelet I think, folded vs solid links. Solid is better. The Oyster is a much better bracelet to get.
I don't think I'd ever recommend buying a Seiko from a Jeweller in the UK. You will pay way over the odds. For instance, last time I bought a SKX007 it was $155 (£95) delivered from a well known dealer, Jake B.

The best option is to get the SKX007 on rubber and buy the improved Super Oyster II from wjean (another well known dealer) on ebay. The Super Oyster is easily the best of its kind.

That's a Kinetic, had one of those as well. Different to the Auto, still a nice watch and it's quite a big lump. Creation watches are a well know and reliable seller in the watch community.
There's a massive Seiko community and the 007/009 is one of the most modded.
