So there are two diffeent numbers on this watch on one end it reads "Stainless Steel", 942XX. On the other end it reads "1239XX"
I assume that the first number is the S/N. What then is the second number?
From what I can gleem this is a Model 79180 "Big Block, Reverse Panda" What more can I learn about this watch?

The serial numbers are normally 6 digit but when it reached 99x,xxx in around 1984, it re-started again starting with 5 digit serial number of 1x,xxx. When the serial number reached 3xx,xxx in late 80's, it added an alphabet "B" in front of these 6 digit serial number.
For big block with ref 94xx0, its serial range are approx from 87x,xxx to 26x,xxx, which also included some 5-digit serial.
