| As you know Rolex S.A. will not give you the production date of your Rolex watch. With this page you will get an idea of the approximate date when your watch was produced (but no guaranty for varification). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Just check your serial number which you can find on the certificate and between the lugs at 6 oclock with the following chart that was accomplished by the "Project" of the Vintage Rolex Forum and the members of the German Rolex Forum. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Up to now the exchange cases started with 4,4 Mil. But since all those number are used up they start now with a 4,7 Mil. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In 1987 Rolex started to put a letter in front of the 6-digit serial number: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| At the beginning of 2010 Rolex changed the system to individualize their watches. By now the Serial Number will be composed of a random generated 8-digit mix of letters and numbers which means that from now on only Rolex can tell you when the watch was produced.
