So I recieved my warranty card in the mail for the Limited Edition Japan only 300 pieces Green Hand/Date wheel/Turn-O-Graph on the dial TOG.

The warranty card arrived in this envelope stuck inside of the paper.

I knew the serial number was going to be an "F" when I bought it. The white dial one that I saw was a "D" serial number. I asked how these could be new if they were Ds and Fs and the salesperson stated that Japan sometimes does that. Interesting as I have never experienced this with any other type of Rolex I have seen in Japan.

However true enough the warranty card arrived and it was in fact a CARD not the old papers that you would expect from an F serial number.

Bet you have never seen that before. An F serial number on a new credit card style warranty card.

and finally tucked away in it's leather pouch that I got at the time of purchase.

Very nice! I'm a fan of the TOG and that is truly a special piece. Congrats!

Yes the Japanese market is slightly different but the TOG is just basically a high volume seller DJ case. So perhaps Rolex still had a supply of old stock cases stamped with F,D serials left in stock and used for this short run of TOG.This is why today all this serial fixation by some is completely meaning less nothing is written in stone with Rolex.

SPACE-DWELLER · 25 November 2012, 11:56 PM

Are there any more letters in the serial number besides the "F"? And how many letters and numbers are there in total? Seven or eight?

mmmmp · 26 November 2012, 12:14 AM
