A question for our very own watch guru,Paul  hey Paul no big deal as I like my 007 a lot but can you figure out this: 

When I use the online calculator for dating my watch it keeps coming up Mar 2000 yet a little research on the movement mine is (7S26B) that particular movement only came out around 2006 so I've read  can you shed any light on this  thanks for your time 

Oh SN/036178 movement 7S26B 

the date calculator can be a little unreliable, you can google a manual way of dating it. The first few numbers relate to month and year.

Otherwise, replacement movement?  was it from the Philippines ?

No!  China actually where they are built now days

Yeah I shouldn't worry too much I doubt it has ever been worn tho as it had all the protective strips on the bracelet case back ect..


[edit] A little more research I find the calculator can't tell that the 7S26B was produced in 2006/2007 so it just throws up 2000,in other words it may not work if you have a 7S26B caliber
