Help me in identifying my Seiko ...

People often come to the internet asking for help identifying a Seiko watch, sometimes they know that the important data is on the face of the watch around the 6 O'clock position, other times they don't.

The core information is in two places, on the dial and on the back plate. Some people at least provide pictures but are unable to (bother?) taking the time to take a picture of the face of their watch that can show details and then (apparently) can't be bothered to check that picture is clear before they post it online.

So here's a quick guide. Don't send a picture like this, which while sharp isn't helpful.

its not helpful because the information is around the 6 O'clock marker and can't be seen.

Worse don't send a blurry picture.

Since the "how to do this" isn't (apparently) obvious, I've made this video to show how to make a good basic image with your phone:

The as taken image is like this:

which I've even down-sized to save upload time / space. When you rotate it, then crop it and then maybe downsize it (cropping results in a smaller file anyway) you can get something nice and clear like this

Looking at that number the first part (4R36) is the movement reference number. that'll feed in to the next bit.

I strongly recommend you look at the back of the watch as identified by this great site retroseiko.

That site will give you the lowdown with the movement and the serial number to work out how to date your watch.

If you still can't work it out then take a few decent clear pictures like I have shown and ask on an internet group you might (at best) not get much help. However, if you help us to help you, we can, if you don't ... well, just don't expect answers you'll enjoy reading.
