If parts and dates do not match then this can also raise concerns surrounding the authenticity of a particular example. If this type B dial is found in a watch that has a 1973 case it would indicate that the dial may have been replaced during service. For example a dive watch may have a number of different dial variations over time, and collectors may be aware that for example in 1976 the dial was changed from type A to type B. Throughout the production life of a watch there may be a number of small production changes that take place and the serial numbers can help to identify the changes. This can help to identify the authenticity of the watch and can also give insight into the original pricing, design and marketing for a model. If you roughly know the year you are able to check the catalogs from that time and find details about the model. In addition to tying it to a significant date for an owner, the ability to determine a watches product date also helps collectors in a range of scenarios.īy being able to narrow down a model to a specific date it can greatly assist in finding further details on a specific model. I also know of people who have specifically collected a model as it was tied to their own birthday. I know a number of people who have purchased models around the birth of a child with the intention to give this to them when they graduate high school or college. It can be as simple as helping someone purchasing a watch that is associated with a specific important date for them such as a birthday. The ability to provide a rough date for a Seiko watch is of use for a number of reasons for watch enthusiasts. While there may be some kind of logical pattern behind these, it is difficult to determine at this point due to the small sample sizes involved. I have seen models from the new Five Sports series that have serial numbers beginning with 0, 1 and 2. The watch clearly was not produced in July 2021 (I am writing this in August 2020) and the model also was not produced in July 2011, as the model and new Five Sports branding was only launched in 2019.
