Instructions to Tell When Seiko Fake Watches Was Manufactured:

Locate the serial number engraved on the back of your watch case, under the name "SEIKO." You will also find the model number and the movement number engraved on the back. The movement number represents the classification number of the working parts of your watch.

Interpret the first digit of the serial number as the manufacturing year. You would need to know the nearest decade to know the exact year. For instance, if "268451" represents the serial number for your Seiko watch, and you know the nearest decade Seiko made your watch was 1990, the first digit would represent the year 1992.

Translate the second digit of the serial number as the month Seiko produced your watch. This digit could be a number or a letter. For example, for the months of January through September, the second digit would be 1 through 9. The second digit would be the letters O, N and D, for the months of October, November and December. For the serial number "268451," your Seiko watch was manufactured in June 1992.
