From my experience, the first number of the case code is the movement caliber.  In other words, 6530.

Yes think your quite right ..
Caliber: 6530
Case number: 5799
Serial number: 5 (1975)  8(Augusti) 0490 (Unique serial number)

6530 is the movement reference number, from my own investigations it was in production from 1982 onwards so your serial number would probably date it to August 1985.

I have a Seiko 6530 - 5760  s/no 502572 so a couple of months newer (less old?).

There are also reference numbers on the dial at 6: 6530 - 4370 these refer to the movement and (I think) the dial, hands etc

I believe the 6530 has been obsolete since the late 90s. An "equivalent replacement" was apparently a Pulsar VX20, however that is now obsolete with no listed replacement as far as I can tell. My 6530 came to me as a non runner but after a bit of attention it is now running fine, but the case, dial and glass are not the best. I can sense a deal forming.....

On this side of the pond they seem to be quite abundant. Here's at least one:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Seiko-6530A-Quartz-Watch-Movement-with-Dial-and-Hands-For-Parts-or-Repair/113668585813?epid=5004511682&hash=item1a772cf955:g:GGwAAOSweYtbJXps&frcectupt=true

The seller notes that he will ship worldwide.

Seems a bit expensive with the postage, probably cost more than the original was worth! Thanks. B.

We are at a crossroads. How do want to run it? My case,dial and hands are very good. I am not after making a killing but I do not want to lose either! Offer me your movement or make an offer for my case etc? B. 

My watch owes me £7 plus a battery plus a bit of time. So would £15 inc p&p be any help or if not what would you want for your case etc? My main objective is to try and keep another elderly watch working and hopefully subsequently fund another "resurrection". I will open the case up in the morning and let you have some photos of the movement.

    • 🤔 leaving the EU meant that UK was no longer part of the convention and have already been turned down an independent reapplication. I'm pretty sure courts have to be held in Switzerland in this case. There will be a lot more watches stashed away in draws  tbh, folk wont be able to afford to maintain them. Cheap watches will be bought and top end watches by folk with plenty of cash that can pay for service and repair. The expensive once in a lifetime gifts and everything else inbetween will be at the forgotton when they stop working. I know i was being a numpty, get used to it 😄
    • although not in this case.  It was the Lugano Convention and its deficiencies that allowed a Swiss court decision in the first place.  This isnt really a Brexit issue at all.  A decision that affects both the EU and the UK should never have been heard in Switzerland. I bet the authorised service centres in the UK are pretty pleased.  It's a massive shame, though; I believe watch owners should be able to choose to have their watch serviced by whoever they trust.
    • Hi guys I think that old hippy is correct, it opens the gates for china to manufacture aftermarket spare parts. considering that they already do work on behalf of the Swiss I guess this decision gives the a little more legitimacy to tool up and I am sure they will take advantage of the situation either with or without the blessing of the Swiss watch industry  Having read about the protectionist machinations of the Swiss in the history of Europe they were the only ones to get fat at everybody else’s expense. I think the outcome could have been guessed at but ,  fair play to Cousins UK for standing up to them.  Now the question,  will everybody boycott Swiss watches and Swatch, no way they will still fill their coffers.  Me I stick with the Japanese once renowned for cheap shitty watches who came good through industrial effort and don’t for get the Russians that most dismiss as low grade crap. Wouldn’t buy a swatch product ever how about you all.? a
