Need help, warranty card country code not the same?

Im possibly buying a watch (batgirl) its a private sale. Watch looks ok although I haven't been to see it yet. The thing that has make me doubt it is the warranty card country code its from Egypt and the code should be 612 but on the warranty card it says 613. Any reason for this should I avoid the watch or is this normal?

I would stay away from private sellers

Buy from one of the Trusted Sellers here on TRF.

I never buy from private persons.
Plenty legit sellers in the UK. Pay a bit more for a worry free deal

Is 613 even a real country code? I don't know much about this, but did a quick Google search and turned up nothing.

Have to agree and with all sales the most important bit is buy the seller then condition watch, price willing to pay then the packaging stuff,and to the original poster you are not buying a batgirl you are buying a Rolex 126710BLNR

Why do people want to buy from anyone who they worry about? So many reputable sellers on the forum and elsewhere.

There's always been a glut of Rolex from the Middle East countries.....most come here without having the required duties paid to HMRC. I laughed before when the cheapest new Explorer for sale in the UK on ebay was 'currently located outside of the country' Buyer Beware as always.
