Production year
We almost knew things we got in hand, the production year of our cars, the manufacturing date of the ice cream in our freezer, the keyboard I'm now typing here in this forum. Unfortunately, we pays for thousands or even more for Rolex, and we got nothing about the production year after Rolex set up their random serial system. I asked for the production year of my G serial in RSC yesterday, the RSC lady said that no one knows and even no one could give me a certain anwser for that! The hell... look, I know that my G serial is a new product, because G serial is the first apply in the serial history of Rolex, but we have the right to know what the production year we got, of course I have the right to bring it home or not, but there's unreasonable!

With any of the Internet codes on the year dates, all you could ever establish from these codes. Was only a approximation when a case might have been stamped,and not always when a fully completed watch was shipped for sale to the varius ADs.Now today Rolex test around 700,000 movements yearly at COSC.So I would think that around 500000 would be the cal 3135 so the movement could be older or newer made or visa versa in any particular case watches dont go off anyway.

Welcome to the world of Rolex where customer's are not entitled to know when a watch is actually made, and several forum members amazingly support this secrecy.
Apparently all that matters is the condition and year made is irrelevant, and as a side benefit, Rolex can sell a watch that's been sitting on the shelf for 3 or 4 years as new, without discount. At least in your case. I believe a 'G' was the last of letter prefixes before random codes... meaning its probably within a couple of years. |
