My dad just gave me a seiko 6309 and I was able to tell it was from 1980 and made in July. Very cool watch, it was in storage and it still works like new, just had to shake it and it's good. Original strap and no service so all original watch. Seiko 6309 turtle shell
I bought a 6309 in January 1985, it was made in July 1984. I can barely read the bezel, it ran all that time except for when I was dating this one woman and the watch refused to work, lol. It runs perfectly and I still wear it.
No need to worry about my Seiko Kinetic 150 Sport...i have it`s birthcert and service history since i bought it new back in 1995. One and only watch ever since.
I need your help. My seiko 5 has 7s26C which started production in 2011. Now I'm wondering if the first two digits 2N indicate, November 2012, or November 2022. Apparently they stopped producing 7s26 movements recently but I don't know how recently. There isn't any clear info online
@@EscapementWatch okay thank you very much. I wondered because the online calculators that predict the age of seiko watches also show 2022. That had me confused. That also means, my watch is probably 11 years old now
Hi your videos are helping me with my watch collection journey, my seiko is from my grandfather and the straight number in the back is 7841177 , do you have any guess ? 😅
Hello! I just purchased a Vintage Seiko Avenue Moonphase watch - the movement is 7F39 with case code 6060, and the serial number is 18xxxx. Would you happen to know if it was from August 1991, 2001, or 2011? I used an online seiko manufacture date calculator, but it was giving me all 3 decades.. I don't think it would have been from 2011 as that is too recent. Also based on research, the 7F39 started in the 1980s so I am guessing either 1991 or 2001?
The first two numbers for my SKX is "6" and "3". And movement is 7S26A, which was replaced with the 7S26B in October 2006... So I guess that means my SKX was made either in March 1996 or March 2006 since the 7S26 was still available for both decades?
i bought a seiko 5 super cub edition. I've been looking everywhere but there's limited info and from what I read on one website, from 2019, seiko 5s do not have the 6or7 serial number. My questions are, does it not have one then? if it does, where can I find it?
It does have a serial number on the lip of the case back it's hard to find. However the new Seiko 5S do not use the same type of serial, so this video would not be valid for those new ones
Hey mate thanks for the video! The 7S26C started production in 2011 though not 2016. My SKX007 has a serial number starting with 54 and a 7S26C movement. (Manufactured in 2015)
My seiko 5 has 7s26C but the first two digits are 2N. I am wondering if my watch was made in 2012 November, or 2022 November. I bought that watch in 2023. Any idea?
I have a 5H26-7A19 which was first produced in October 1998, I bought the watch in1989 the s/n is 8O0054 does this mean my watch is the 54th watch of this model manufactured?
I have a Seiko SRPD73 with the serial number starting with 5. Well, the watch was launched only in 2019 and as far as I know we are not in 2025 yet so, are you sure that those numbers represent the year of manufactoring?
HI ! VERY GOOD INFORMATION ! MY WATCH IS SEIKO5 SPORTS WITH 7S36 C MOVEMENT AND MODEL SNZG11J1 ! PLEASE ! CAN YOU TELL THE YEAR MY WATCH WAS MADE ? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP !
Quite fascinating! I have a May 1983 (That I bought brand new that year) 7A28-7069 Black on Black with gold buttons and hands Titanium Sports 100 Chronograph that has -707L T in the face dial, and an AO enclosed in a square on the back case that I have no idea so far what they mean...
so the year is 1983, 1993, 2003, 2013, month is June. But to narrow it down more need to know your type of watch and movement type is it 7s26a? b? c? etc.
thank you I don't know that I think it's a wind-up watch, right now it's not working but I don't know if it needs a battery or if it's wound up too tight could it be 1953 or 1963?
It should not be 1995 cos SKX007/009 was launched in1996 and discontinued in Dec 2019 (23 Years) including this year Dec 2022 will be 26 years. Based on your 5D0254 with 7S26A should be 2005. The movement A was launched in 1996-2006/7, B movement was 2008-2010 and the C movement was 2011 onwards. Mine (SKX007J) was in Aug 1997 counting this year 2022 will be 25 years old (Quarter of a century old).
Yeah thats my nickname been using it for so long. my legal name is hard to pronounce and i never use it ever. unless its with government doc's, paypal, etc type stuff
Best comment....ever. My guess is this whole thing was a plan by the Japanese to drive U.S. citizens to the brink of insanity. Then they can move the troops in and take over.
@EscapementWatch I have serial number 660803, 2A23-0029 A3 Do I need to open the back like you did to figure out the date it was made and any other details? I'm pretty sure it was a birthday gift in July 1985-87.

very informative video. Hi, i have one with serial number 196054 and movement is 7S26A4. What year and month could this be?
September 2001
Thankyou man!!@@EscapementWatch
So, I bought my watch in 82 and the serial # starts with 7. It was made in 77 then? It still works and is my daily driver.
I have wind up one 17jewels 1967 serial 1N7674. Anything on this one?
Cheers
Made in November 1971
I have a suggestion for Seiko. How about to write down the year when it was made?
Really ...what is the deal😮why the mystery
Hi your videos are helping me with my watch collection journey, my seiko is from my grandfather and the straight number in the back is 7841177 , do you have any guess ? 😅
Thanks. August 1957 or 67 is a guess. Would need the movement to help narrow it down more.

A is 1996 for sure.

Superb info 👌
Hey, ive bought a SKX, SN is 746799 so it ist from 2017 i think, or 2007?
I have a Seiko "World Timer" but I don't know the age of it. On the back it's engraved ON6368. Need some help please.
What about the codes for 1986,1976,1966 and so onq
So my watch it show : 7S26-0350 and 6digit : 245559 so it not 2002 right?
I love your videos
I just bought a seiko 5 with the bracelet strap...how do I find the serial number and case model number
It has a exhibitionist case back see through
it should be laser etched on the lip of the polished part of the case back right at the edge.
Hey mate thanks for the video! The 7S26C started production in 2011 though not 2016.
My SKX007 has a serial number starting with 54 and a 7S26C movement. (Manufactured in 2015)
My seiko 5 has 7s26C but the first two digits are 2N. I am wondering if my watch was made in 2012 November, or 2022 November. I bought that watch in 2023. Any idea?
is it an SKX007? If so i believe it would be a 2012 model as the SKX007 was discontinued in 2019@@twoforten8836

Which year model it is?
helpful!
I have a 5H26-7A19 which was first produced in October 1998, I bought the watch in1989 the s/n is 8O0054 does this mean my watch is the 54th watch of this model manufactured?

The new seiko 5's have a new system that do not use the old system. No one has figured it out yet I believe.
My watch number is 1N6100
Could you tell me how old it is and how much price of it is now day ?
I got a seiko 6309-729A F1, serial 5D4731. Can you help me? ❤

HI ! VERY GOOD INFORMATION ! MY WATCH IS SEIKO5 SPORTS WITH 7S36 C MOVEMENT AND MODEL SNZG11J1 ! PLEASE ! CAN YOU TELL THE YEAR MY WATCH WAS MADE ? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP !
7S26B was being produced till 2016? Or 2011?
Please can someone confirm this

My seiko is 7002-7000 , serial 540145 can anyone tell me what decade or year was it made . Thank you
I have a seiko SQ 6923-8080 James bond, the seriel number is 550901 and the movement is 6923
What year is this then?😀
The movement of mine is only 4 digits. If what you say is correct.
I'm totally confused mine says 360248. then it has base metal. 11-3459.
so the year is 1983, 1993, 2003, 2013, month is June. But to narrow it down more need to know your type of watch and movement type is it 7s26a? b? c? etc.
thank you I don't know that I think it's a wind-up watch, right now it's not working but I don't know if it needs a battery or if it's wound up too tight could it be 1953 or 1963?
and actually it has no info like that. that's why I think it's really cold I have a really cool art deco looking Seiko watches well which is old
What if the watch was made by October to December?
Let's say it's October, does the second digit write 1,0 or 10?
Then it will have the letter: O October, N for November and D for December.
Mine says 4D2830 as the only number on back.
That means that it could have been made in 1974,1984,1994,2004 and it was made in the month of December.
His instruction made no sense! On the Stainless Steal part it’s 011213 and on both sides of the face on the backside it’s S114V USA.
