I'm considering bidding on a Speedy Pro on eBay. The watch was originally purchased in Japan and the description states that the warranty card is dated Showa 22 (2010) 4/03. Is anyone familiar with this type of date?

The serial number is 77176xxx, which is typically associated with a watch closer to 2007, not 2010. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Speedy serial numbers seem to be not that reliable of a source to tell you the date of manufacture. I had a 7775xxxx that was purchased in Dec 2011, if that gives you any help. It does seem that the 771xxxxx could be very well from 2010.

Whoever owns that watch now must be one lucky guy!
