I acquired this a while back on eBay. Any idea as to it's date. I've tried the Seiko watchfinder on the net but all it can tell me it was made in September 00 but can't give a decade ?

It's fitted with a Seiko 6G28 quartz movement has a snap back with o ring gasket, measures 37mm across and fitted and fitted with a flat sapphire crystal. I'm guessing year 2000 ?

I thought 00 would be 2000???

I can't really see it being earlier with it's specs. Seiko still produce an identical watch but it has Premier under the logo and 3atm rating. This watch has neither. They still use the 6G28 movement. I don't think it's a cheapy, fitted with a sapphire crystal.
Many thanks for your reply.

For Seiko serial numbers..

1st digit  = year (you need to have an idea of the time it was built..eg 0 could be 1990 or 2000.

2nd digit = month . 1-9 followed by O,N,D for Oct, Nov and Dec.

Citizen uses the 1st digit in the same way but the 2nd and 3rd digit denotes the month (01,02...11,12).

sorry cant add more info. what is the full reference on the caseback?

Hi Anilv,
The case number is 6G28-00C0 and the serial number is 090056.
All I can get is the watch was produced in Sept and the beginning of the decade. The only similar watches I can find appear in the "Premier" range I thought it might just predate this but some research has indicated that the Premier was probably introduced in 1988. I don't believe this watch to be that old. So dead end. I'm thinking 1990, probably 2000, could be 2010.
Many thanks for your assistance.
Tony

Hi Tony,

The marketing model number is SRK015P1 (or similar but changes would be only to case colour and band type). If you google this you'll still see this sold new at a number of online vendors so it should be 2010.

Another option is to join a Seiko specific forum as there are a lot of guys there who keep brochures and would probably be able to give a definite answer.

      1972 Bulova President "E" Sea King 11ACACB movement

      Unfortunately I'm not that lucky. I started on the train side and after I noticed the binding I pulled everything out except the driving wheel to rule everything else out. It still binds. I'm going to double check that the pinion is fully seated on the staff first, then if no joy I'll push the bridge jewel up a fraction of a mm. Fingers crossed!

      Thank you for the advise!! It worked. The setting screw was a lock/unlock to remove the rotor.

      I have that French tech sheet too, it is a little different than the English one (eg, it doesn't have the auto works diagram). BTW, it looks like you are looking up the case number in the 1979 ABC supplement. The 1974 ABC catalog does have the 3093 case. As you determined it takes the 1222-5 crystal.  When I serviced my President 'A' (which also takes that crystal), I was able to fit a 29.8 crystal from my DPA crystal assortment. Those are, in my opinion, a great deal. The assortment comes with 10 sizes each from 27.8mm to 32.4mm in 0.2 increments. I pretty much use them for any non-armored crystal that takes a high dome crystal. I think they no longer make them but Cousins has still has some in stock but when I bought them they were around $40 for the set and now they are around $100. Still, at 40 cents a crystal it's still a good deal. For the large driving wheel, I remember I once assembled the keyless/motion works first and when I placed the large driving wheel it was interfering with the setting wheel on the dial side as the teeth were not fully meshing and it wouldn't fully seat. If that isn't the issue I got nothing and am looking forward to see how you solve it 🙂

      Not sure, but just looking at it, it seems like the screw on the right may be a fake? The one on the left may not be a screw in the regular sense at all, rather a 2 position device, I think you need to point the slot towards either of the 2 dots and one will secure and one will open. Like I said this is just my best guess looking at the pictures.
