Seiko 4R to NH Conversion
The list below gives a general idea as to the crossover caliber numbers between the 4R and NH series. Keep in mind that while the watch community mostly goes on the premise that these calibers are interchangeable, there may be slight differences between 4R and NH calibers. The caliber numbers are easy to decipher, mostly just switch 4R with NH.
