Is the COSC cert for a Z series SD the paperwork with hole punched serial number?

Some of the Z-series have the old style paperwork, but the most recent Z-series numbers don't. They would have the plastic card certificate.

Think the only country now to have the unperforated serial guarantee papers is on new watches from the USA.

So is this paperwork the COSC cert as well as the guarantee?

The punched paper is the guarantee with a paragraph from Rolex certifying that the watch has passed the COSC time keeping tests. You don't actually get the COSC certificate unlike some others - Panerai definitely and I think Omega.

Correct but the COSC today is little more than a marketing ploy
as nearly every modern movement could perform to the COSC
standard with a bit of careful regulation.Now this is the copy of the German Din certificate for my Dreadnought watch as you can see +0.4 seconds a day,not bad for a so called humble ETA 2824-T2 movement,less than half a second a day.The European Din is a higher standard than the Swiss COSC and the Dreadnought cost at the time just £400.
