Country Code

How do you determine the country code on these type of paperwork? Thanks.

Thanks Hamilton. I checked this before and couldn't find the country code on my warranty paper. There should be a three digit code that precedes my serial number, but I don't see it.

Any other suggestions?

I think you have the same certificate I have, if I'm right it will not show because it is from the USA.

Ahh.. ok. Mine was originally purchased from Bachendorfs-Galleria in Dallas, TX. I thought it was "hidden" and can only be seen at certain angles but couldn't find it.

Thanks for the response.

You're welcome! This is from the link I sent you:

"Country Codes on the Certificate

Since the mid 80s there is a 3-digit code among others on
the certificate. This code shows in which county the watch
was sold first.

Exception: USA watches."
