Advice needed - Unnamed Undated Warranty Card

[Swaye]

Hey all, wanted some collective wisdom from the folks here. So, I am interested in a Rolex from a very trusted dealer I have made purchases from before. Watch is a 2007 model and is originally from HK. I want to lead with "I have NO reservations about the watch or it's authenticity." This is a question about curiosity.

So, 2007 watch sold out of Hong Kong. The warranty card is properly AD stamped. The serial tag is present. Best news, it was serviced at RSC Dallas late last year. So, the watch, the warranty card (unnamed and undated), serial tag and RSC service paperwork numbers all match and it is a trusted seller. In short, the watch is legit. I have zero worries there.

My question is...is there any way to figure out when the watch was originally sold? And before you answer, I have spoken with the AD in HK twice. They were SUPER helpful. Sent them photos of the card and they called me back. In short, they told me yes, it is the correct AD stamp, and were even able to tell which one of their stores in HK the watch came from (based on the stamp), but after searching they said they do not have records going back that far.

I was thinking perhaps Rolex would know, but then thought International Warranty cards from that era did not have magnetic strips and were not swiped (I don't think) letting the mother ship know anything. So unless anyone has any ideas I suppose I am stuck. If the AD doesn't have records, and there was no strip to swipe, then I have no idea how to track it down. Anyone have any ideas?

I called an industry friend of mine and he had no ideas, but did say that HK is kind of wild wild west with Rolex, and particularly 10-15 years ago. He made a guess that the watch was bundled for a dealer to dealer (grey?) sale back then. Said it is very common to see HK watches unnamed and undated.

Anyway, this isn't an authenticity question, but my curiosity is peaked. Anyone have any experience with unnamed/undated cards from the era, HK specifically, or any other way to figure out when this is sold? I know I will never get the buyer, but dating the sale would be nice.

Thanks all!
