7009 MOVEMENT

• The Metatechnical Cabinet Seiko 7009A

This movement is one of the most produced japanese movements, which was for example and mainly used in the legendary "Seiko 5", 
until it was replaced in the late eighties by its successor, the caliber 7S26.
The 17-jewel equipped movement is pretty simple but efficiently constructed. It cannot be handwound, but on the other hand, 
it uses a rather elaborated excenter mechanism like for example IWC uses in many of their own movement. 
The 7009A uses all possible indications, hour, minute, second and day and weekday.
An interesting detail is, that the day is advanced by turning the crown in its second position, 
but the weekday is advanced by pressing the crown in position one

• How to tell when your Seiko watch was made (Part 1)

... 7009 caliber was discontinued by 1996 and was replaced by the current 7s26 caliber.
...  if the dial and caseback doesn't have the word "JAPAN" on them...

7S26 MOVEMENT

• The Seiko Diver's 200 Meter SKX77 Featuring the 7S26 Automatic Movement

...
There are many positive things I can say about this movement, but the most relevant is that it is exceedingly honest, almost to a fault. 
It is an economic design and construction that is created for maximum performance and robustness at minimal cost. 
It has no pretenses of decoration or "fineness". 
In fact, it uses this very freedom from tradition to incorporate engineering solutions that would otherwise be shunned, like the plastic calendar wheels and spacer ring. 
It is heartily true unto itself as a low cost, low maintenance, long lasting and well functioning automatic movement. 
It is not pretty and it is not glamorous. It is in all likelihood untouched by human hands in its manufacture. 
There is, however, significant accomplishment in its conception and implementation. 
Without the Seiko 7S26 and comparable movements from Miyota (Citizen), Orient, and Swatch, 
many people would not be able to experience the joy of owning a mechanical watch at all.

.. I will not be shocked in the least if this watch runs for twenty years without service 
(maybe fifteen now that I've replaced the Seiko lubricants with Moebius greases and oils) 
and fully expect to read extreme stories in the future regarding 7S26 based Seiko Diver's.

• Ed's Corner Seiko 5 Review

The watches from the 1990's were manufactured in Japan, now in the 2000's they are manufactured at the Seiko factory in Singapore. 
That is partially the reason they are so readily available on eBay for great prices. 
If you want a more "upscale" automatic Seiko, you should look at the Diashock models. 
I got mine in Tokyo, however there are some retailers where you could purchase one here in the USA. 
On the Seiko Japan web site, they are under the "Mechanical" watch section:
http://www.seiko-watch.co.jp/mechanical/index.html
I highly recommend these, as the fit and finish of the case is much nicer, and the movement is hacking. 
These watches are more on par with the construction of a Rolex or a Tudor, without the expense. 
They retail for about 45,000 JPY, however you can find them for less money. 
I bought a SARB007 from the Sakuraya Watch Kan in Shinjuku. It is 23 jewels and very much higher quality than the Seiko 5.

Yes, definitely look into the Diashock 23 jewel models. They have some very cool styles. 
I showed my SARB007 to a friend who owns a jewelry store, who used to be an authorized Rolex dealer. 
He wears a $3000 GMT-II, and when he saw my Seiko, he was really surprised!
