hello all,

Posted this on the wrong part of the website.

Just wondering if anyone has any technical information on EL-330. From the model and serial number it seems to date to 1972. Is that correct ? Is the bracelet correct for that era ?

thanks in advance ...

You are correct with your dating of the watch from the early 70's. Assuming the serial number starts with a 2 then 1972 would be correct.

This watch appears in the 1974 catalog on page 43 and is given the model number 33ELW 096. The bracelet attached would appear to be original to the watch.

The original retail price of the watch was 16,000 yen.

Thanks for the info.

Where can I find the catalogue (i am pretty new to this site and still finding my way) ...

Is there a service manual available anywhere?

The catalog can be found in the Ad's and Catalogs forum.

Here is a link to the post containing the 1974 catalogs. SEIKO VINTAGE CATALOGS - 1960s - 1980s

I do not see a service manual available but hopefully another member may be able to assist with that.

I have added some further images for reference. I would like to know what would be the approximate value of this watch if I was to put it up for sale or trade ?
