Rolex serial numbers by year of production

Jun.11, 2009 in Watch 101

Messina Jewelers is presenting this chart to make easier the searching of a Rolex year. With this chart our customers can find the year of the Rolex watch they have bought or they already owned, by the serial number. This would also make the searching easier for the watch sellers.

The serial number of a Rolex watch can be found engraved between the lugs of the lower part of the case by releasing the bracelet. This engrave is done with very fine lines which catch the light like a cut of a diamond edge.
