ROLEX WATCHES: SERIAL NUMBERSEvery Rolex watch will have a serial number. This serial number is unique to the watch. Prior to the mid to late 2000's, serial numbers can be found on all Rolex watches engraved between the lugs at the 6 o'clock position. The bracelet will need to be removed from the watch in order to view the serial number. Rolex introduced the engraved inner rehaut in around 2004. Precious metal Rolex watches were the first to feature the engraved inner rehaut with most stainless steel sports models following in 2007 on the Z serial. The engraved inner rehaut featured the serial number of the watch at the 6 o'clock position and was visible through the crystal. Certain military and special order Rolex watches will also have the serial number engraved inside the case back.
ROLEX WATCHES: PRODUCTION DATESPlease use this the table of Rolex serial numbers as reference but note that there is no official record of Rolex serial numbers to refer to. There may be inaccuracies amongst the data, especially with the pre 1987 watches with 7 digit serial numbers. However, dates will be accurate to within a year or two.
