16710 F series - what should correct fullset look like?
Hi all - i'm looking to source a 16710 and found an unpolished f series with all original parts.
What I am not so sure about is what should the 'fullset' look like as I am seeing conflicting reports and what should be the 'period correct' warranty card, box, hang tags sleeeves etc for a 2004 F series 16710. Tried to look for it in the forum/internet but wasn't able to find a reliable source. Would appreciate your expertise and input on this, thanks in advance. |

I have a 2005 F serial that I purchased from AD 14 years ago.
Sorry I dont have access to my set now for actual pics, but I can find some reference images for you It came with the papers (not card) which had the diamond pattern on them, like so https://www.dream-watches.co.uk/imag...e-papers-1.jpg The box looked like this https://www.swissluxury.com/rolex-wa...ex-box-set.htm It had a plain white sleeve in which this box fits. I dont remember the tags, in fact I think i threw them away when I bought the watch |

F-serial or D-serial was the switchover from the older box - 64.00.02. Mine (F) was purchased in April 2005 with the 64.00.02.

One problem with sets, especially around a period where boxes, tags, etc. were switching is any combination could be the original and correct set.
It should have -Inner/Outer Boxes -Green Serial Hang tag -Red hologram multi crown hang tag -GMT Booklet -Oyster Booklet -Multi Color Warranty Paper -Leather or Cardboard sleeve -Translation Booklet -Factory Service Booklet I'm probably missing something too |

F serial is 2003/2004 as quoted by most sites . Again, only Rolex knows the exact year correlation
Here’s a full set F serial that I recently acquired with warranty papers dated October 2004
