Do engraved rehaut Subs have S/N's between the lugs too?

[g-boac]

I generally follow 4-number subs and GMT's, but have been looking into a 14060M COSC four-liner as a modern compliment. Are these 2008-2011 subs, with the S/N engraved into the rehaut, also supposed to have a serial number between the lugs?

I've been looking at one offered by a private seller on-line. The pictures he provided show both a S/N between the rehaut, and a second S/N between the lugs. The numbers are different, although both start with an "M". All else with the watch, dial, bracelet, looks correct, and the model number is where expected between the 12 o'clock lugs. Photos of the warranty card and green tag were provided, but numbers blurred out so no help there.

Can any owners of late COSC 14060M's provide me with insight please? I'm just a little thrown with why there would be two serial numbers on the watch (lugs and rehaut), and why they wouldn't match.

I have no reason to suspect otherwise - just trying to do due diligence. My intent is also to see clear photos of all cards and numbers before purchasing, but trying to do my homework up front.

thanks!

The transitional ones have numbers on the rehaut and between the lugs, but they should match from what I know.

I've never heard of a Rolex with two serial numbers.

They should match.
Do you have pix?

Hi Grady,

Looks like we were typing at the same time.

New one on me. Yeah...let's see some pics.

My M 16610 has both and they (I believe) match. Will post pics/verify when I get home to the tools.

All Rolex watches will have one unique case serial stamp whether just between lugs, or lugs and rehaute, or rehaute only. Same for the movement serial in the case unique to that particular movement..

thanks!

The first couple of years of the engraved rehaut Rolex saw serials in both places and they should always match. Otherwise, how would you know the serial number of your watch.

This needs further investigation.

Thank you all for your responses. There are two serial numbers, and they DO indeed match; they are present on the lugs and the rehaut. M599xxx. I was guilty of misreading the "5" as a "6" on the rehaut. Thanks again for your quick replies!!
