Quarter Caseback dates marked with '*' are taken off Military issue casebacks. This dates the year the watch was issued - and is not entirely accurate for age dating.
Note that around 1980 the range reached 999.999. Then began the 5 digit serial number. (This run from mid 1950's till 1980 - 1 million watches produced) and as a consequence Tudor started again from zero.
Precisely what number they started at is unknown, but 18.000 serials has been seen - I am certain lower ones also exist.
The 5 digit serials run till around 82-83 at which point they reach 100.000 and continue from there. In the late 1980's the serials are prefixed by a letter.
Starting with B. It appears that the B was added before 999.999 was reached again.
An interesting detail - in 1955-56 when the serial number range started - it ran alongside the Rolex serial # range. This clearly shows how many more Rolex'es were produced compared to Tudors.
