Need help, what kind of Seiko models there are?
Hello, I found some old watches, but don’t know the model numbers.
Are they worth something or…?

Photos of the backside may be more useful in identifying the model numbers. The dial text at bottom seems to provide movement number on the ones that are legible.
If you're not familiar with the Seiko 5 line, they are very popular. However production numbers were substantial, so I doubt they are all that rare, but they are solid and attractive, so far from junk.

Below you can find the backside.
Hope you can help me!

This will tell you more about each, at least the age etc..
Just google the 8 characters on the back for each respective model and you'll find other examples (ex. 7009-876A) - the first 4 characters are the movement number. Most of what you have are 7009s.

If you google the 8 characters it will link to other examples where it is referred to by other names. You can also refer to these watches by the 8 characters as an identifier.

Older Seiko's models don't include Letter codes like SNXS etc, these are for modern watches only (I don't know when the exact swap date was). Literally the model on these watches is the two four number pairs, with a unique model being identified by the combination. If you want to refer to a model use these xxxx-xxxx model with a year of production. Sometimes there are words in the dial that help shorthand (the '5' is the most obvious but this is a range not a model. Sometimes something like 'Bellmatic' or 'Sportsmatic' but these are for older watches than yours that look like 80's or 90's vintage).
The eldest there is the day date... With the 7009 movement. It could be anywhere from 38-42 years old. The rest with the 7S26 movements are much younger.
SNXS for the first.
SNXJ for the second and the 4th.
SNX111 for the 3rd and the 5th.
They're all entry level seikos but to the right people they could be worth a lil change. If they're all running. You're looking at about $650-$800
I'm no pro but I've owned a few of those entry level pieces. My Longest serving wrist buds are entry level Seikos. Hope this helps.
