#COACH WATCH SERIAL NUMBER LOOKUP SERIAL NUMBER#
The serial number of your watch is engraved on the case at the 6 o'clock end between the lugs. For example, a case with a serial number of 153069 that has a screw on bezel might be marked 'X VI VIIII'. Usually the Roman numerals are scratched in by hand. Sometimes, the watch case companies would mark the bezels with the last few digits of the case number using Roman numerals.
When you have got the serial number then look it up in our Longines serial number matrix. To put a date of production on your vintag Longines watch you have to locate the serial number which most often is found on the in- & out-site of the back case. For instructions on removing the bracelet, email us or call 85 to speak with a Rolex expert. As with the serial number, the bracelet must be detached from the 12 o' clock side of the case.

Below are images showing the two patent dates that often cause confusion. Those designs were used on many watches produced over a number of years, and the applicable patent date in no way indicates when any particular watch was produced. In point of fact, those patent dates apply only to certain aspects of the case design and indicate only when those general designs were patented. Many observers of Bulova watches are confused by the sometimes seen patent dates stamped on the inside of some Bulova watch cases, and they misinterpret such dates as the time of manufacture.
These codes and the manner in which they should be interpreted is the subject of this article. Rather, the date must be 'de-coded' using symbols, serial numbers, and two-character codes placed on various parts of the watch. In general, for all time periods, it is important to understand that Bulova watches never provide an obvious date of manufacture anywhere on the watch.
Those three date ranges are differentiated by the presence or absence of certain case and movement markings as well as the nature of any such markings, as explained below. For purposes of assigning a date, Bulova watches break down nicely into three basic groups: 1) pre-1926, 2) 1926 through 1949, and 3) 1950 and beyond.
