Seiko Database Calculator

You might be wondering when your Seiko watch is made right?
I stumble across this link , and find that it's very useful to find the date of birth of your beloved Seiko.

Click Here for the calculator

A quick summary,
Take a look at the back of your vintage Seiko and usually there's a movement number and a serial number.
My Vintage Seiko helmet is 6139 with a serial number of 623712.
Just have to pay attention to the first 2 digits of the serial number.

6 - The year, for this case it's 1976. Base on my knowledge(I might be wrong), Seiko Helmet 6139 was produce after 1969. So logically it makes sense that it's produce in 1976.

2 - The month. February. Sometimes the 2nd digit is replaced with alphabets that represent the month. Eg:D is for december.

Overall, use this database calculator if you are unsure!

And after waiting for almost 2 weeks, the bracelet I ordered for my Seiko 6139 is finally here! It's not an original Seiko 6139 bracelet because it's just too rare to get it. But overall I am really satisfied with the change of bracelet.. cool cool...

I promise to upload pictures, and I certainly will.
Will try and get a good camera for it.
