Greetings from a newbie

Hi All

Last year i bought a lovely 16610 random number submariner. The dealer told me it was 2010 model and one of the last non ceramic models. Im still waiting for the rolex ID card from a previous owner and I'm fed up with waiting. My question is can i get a duplicate from Rolex? Im surmising i'll have to take the watch to an official dealer which is a good excuse to get it serviced.

cheers

Ade

Welcome aboard.

Have it serviced by the Rolex Service Centre in the UK and they will issue you a 2 year service warranty which is as good as the old card. I'd wait a few more years anyway, unless something is wrong. If you're the second owner and the watch was purchased in 2010-ish, the original warranty has expired anyway.

Can't get a duplicate card but the warranty period is up so who cares. You can however get a service card from RSC when you send it in. Welcome to TRF! Cheers,

One of the last 11610 produced would be pretty cool to have. Enjoy it!

Welcome! Enjoy it until service time.
You won't be able to get a duplicate warranty card, but the service card and additional warranty will be provided after service.
