Wow! That is interesting. Thanks for the information. Glad to see that ROLEX continues to stay one step ahead of the FOLEX dealers.

I got to try that with my Black Light. I know my light does make the dial glow like crazy at night.

You should use an infrared light

But then again, you MIGHT spot some other safety features with that "Black Light" of yours

It's been said that there should be a "hologramme blonde sales' assistant's cleavage" somewhere on the card

Now, THAT should keep JJ busy for some days, searching for it! So if he's offline for some days, you know why!!

Hello Bo,

I have here the COSC tag, but not a box. It is visible just with the infrared light, or I need to see it with infrared + camera or nightvision scope?

Thanks!

Antonio

The pic I showed you is NOT the COSC TAG, but the CCC (Credit Card Certificate).

On the TAG, there is a hologramme, but that one is visible to the naked eye buy just turning the tag at various angles in normal lighting.

The "ROLEXROLEX" on the CCC, however, you would need infrared light(-ing) to see this safety feature.

Bo, you inspired me to try it! Used a blacklight from the stone ages, and was startled at the result. As I recall, the CCC's from other countries are unlike those in the U.S.. Yours appears to have French printing along the border, so here's a crudely edited shot or two of mine (Please be patient, I'm new to photo editing!):

Nice one, Jamie!

Yeah, I guess the French writing is for the European market.
