Rolex Warranty

Do all of the Rolex Warranties have perforated numbers in the top right section (ie..country code & serial number)?

Thanks

I think (somebody pls correct me if I'm mistaken), the performated s/n papers are the old style, from what I recall.

I just purchased a TT Sub Z series in Cancun last month and it had the perforated country code along with the perforated serial numbers.

Quick answer: NO

Hmmmm, nearly impossible to answer this with any certainty but I think the following is true (if my memory serves me well)....

All modern chronometer papers should be 'punched' (not 100% sure about Rolex USA but I think it's the same there too).

Non- chonometer papers (think 5513, 6694, etc etc) can be either punched, typed or hand written.

I would be wary of modern(ish) chronometer rated Rolexes that have hand written papers, but that's just me.

There are lots of variations as there always is with Rolex:
i.e. I have a 1970's Rolex that has the punched serial number but no country code (I have seen this numerous times on others as well from the same era).
A lot of vintage papers were hand written and are 100% correct........

Like I said - hard to answer really.

Modern USA paperwork is typed. At one time it was punched, not sure when the change occured.

The country code for the USA is 710.

Does not appear on USA paperwork. Check country codes on Oysterworld.

Its the USA now that have no perforations on there paperwork. Rolex USA is totally separate from the rest of Rolex the world.

Except for the USA, rest of the world seems to get Certificates with perforated serial nos. and with Country Code on the left of the serial no.

Here we have the Country Code - 810 (Australia) followed by the serial no.
