Your Guide To Rolex Serial Numbers

If you’re trying to locate Rolex serial numbers, you’ll need to look between the lugs on either side of the watch case, and at the 6 o’clock side, behind the bracelet. You are looking for a 4 to 8 digit number that will be engraved by Rolex. This is always the case when Rolex designs a watch, and it is used to demonstrate authenticity and to determine its production date.

From 2005, Rolex began to engrave the serial number on the rehaut, which means the inside flange of the watch, between the crystal and dial. Then 3 years later, Rolex switched to only engraving the numbers of the rehaut.

At Timepieces Belgium, we provide this verified database chart, for Rolex watches collectors looking for this engraving. For example, the number 28000 is used to refer to the year 1926, or Z00001 for the year 2006 are inscribed by a machine on the side of the watch case between the lugs at 6 o’clock. We hope you found this guide helpful and you can now find the Rolex serial number on your timepiece. Because after all this helps to understand the market value of the piece.
