These
serial numbers only refer
to the Rolex Oyster Case
models.
Please
remember that this is just
an approximate guide and
can not be used as a 100%
accurate outlook as per
how old your watch might
be.
Should you require
a more conclusive valuation
of
your time piece then please
do not hesitate to email
us.
To
determine the approximate age of your
watch, the serial number should be located
either between the strap
lugs on the edge of the
case below 6 o'clock, or
if not present here it should
be engraved onto the outside
of the case back.
Simply
match up the number on the
watch to the nearest number
on this page to determine
the APPROXIMATE age.
