The Seiko Lord Marvel 36000 that arrived today was manufactured in December 1970.
How about someone who not only has the same birth year but also the same birth month?
Seiko and Citizen watches,
Some brands of watches can be identified by their year of manufacture,
For Rolex, this is just a guide and not an exact measurement.
Therefore, I would like you to think of the "XX year" as just a bonus.
However, with the exception of a few watches, Seiko and Citizen have the serial number engraved with "Manufactured in XX month/year."
For the Lord Marvel 36000, the first column of the serial number indicates the year of manufacture, and the second column indicates the month of manufacture.
This means you can choose a watch based on your own manufacturing date.
However, even if the manufacturing year matches, it would be a miracle if the manufacturing month also matches.
If I find something that fits, I'll buy it right away (laughs).
Being able to choose in this way is also one of the points to consider when choosing a Japanese watch.
I feel like the watch is a brother to me.
By this clock, 55 years have passed, but in human terms, that would be more than the age of a veteran.
It gives off a sense of dignity!
This is the age where humans would experience some damage to their legs and hips, but
Clocks are mechanical objects and will work properly if they are properly maintained.
Not only that, but we can achieve accuracy that is comparable to current products.
Isn't this because it's a watch and not a car or motorcycle?
I don't know much about cars, but when it comes to motorcycles, the 1970 model has oil leaks,
This is the age when damage to the frame becomes a concern.
In some cases, an engine overhaul can cost a huge amount of money to repair.
However, even if a watch cannot be repaired depending on the item,
The products we recommend can be properly maintained.
When you think about it, it's really amazing that we can use things safely even though they're about half a century old.
Thanks to the craftsmen at the time who designed it with the future in mind,
It's working fine today too.
Watches are amazing, especially vintage watches!
