The Japanese prefer J models to K models but I've not seen that play a big picture in resale markets outside of Japan. The only time the J or K come into consideration is with resale and it only really seems to matter to the Japanese resale market in Japan.
That being said, Seiko has incredible quality control and whether it's a J or K the watch will be excellent. The K simply means it was manufactured outside of Japan. The K, and I can't stress this enough, does NOT stand for Korea. The J as stated before means 51% assembled/manufactured in Japan. Finally the 1 indicates the model has other band options available.ġ - Different watch bands exist for this modelĪnother thing I want to point out is the model can either have a J or a K in the model number. The J means that at least 51% of the watch was manufactured/assembled within Japan proper as per Japanese government stipulations.

To start let us look at a typical model number: Seiko 5 model SNKL23J1. So since I'm "super" bored at work and because my job could be done by a trained monkey to the same effect (just shows you how dumb my temporary job is) I thought I'd write this little faq really quickly and post it. Good day fellow enthusiasts! Recently I've seen an increase in the number of posts regarding J's and K's in certain Seiko model numbers as well as some confusion as to what all those letters and numbers mean.
