Please remember that this
is just an approximate guide and can not be used as a 100% accurate outlook as
per how old your watch might be. Should you require a more conclusive
valuation of your time piece then please do not hesitate to Email-us
To determine the approximate age of your
watch, open the case and find the serial number, usually found engraved on the
movement or the case back itself, then match it up with the list on this
page. Cross reference the Movement number with the case number to find the
time scale of when your watch was produced.
