Kompaktes Rolex Fachwissen
Die Referenz- und die Seriennummer stehen bei Rolex zwischen den Bandanstößen. Man muß also die Uhr nicht öffnen, um ihr Alter zu bestimmen. Bis in die 60er Jahre, stand bei vielen Modellen auf der Innenseite des Gehäusedeckels auch das Quartal des Produktionsjahrs, z.B. „IV 62“.
Bei neuen Modellen ist die Seriennummer – sichtbar unter der „6“ – in den Gehäuserandring graviert. So muß man zur Kontrolle das Band nicht mehr abnehmen.
