Never ending sn discussion

[BravoOne]

Recently purchased a very nice "random sn" DateJust and the sn is engraved on the rehaut. When I plug that sn into a database search it comes up 1993, which I know is unlikely considering the watch in question. The sn starts with two letters and then six numbers. I'm not questioning that validity of the watch or seller but rather trying make some sense of the convoluted way that Rolex uses to create theses records?

Thanks

All 8 digit serials are random which in the real world means the case was stamped sometime from the latter part of 2010 till present time.

You can't plug the newer random serials into any data base. That was for the older serials. And it wasn't all that accurate, as Padi said.

Thanks, as that is what I suspected. There is still around four years left on the warranty so thats what matter the most.
