Hi all,

I'm looking to confirm which watch was manufactured at an earlier/later date, however I can't seem to decipher the code. Thanks in advance for your help!

The first: YS3410


The second: YC5218

I would guess the first one is newer (released later), YS coming after YC. But I'm not sure and no expert on TAG's serial numbering scheme.

Regardless, I would go for the one in better condition, rather than being newer, since they're both old at this point.

Thank you sir! I thought the same, although I couldn't find anything that definitively explains the "Y" prefix/serial numbers.
