ROLEX

HOW TO FIND THE SERIAL NUMBER

Depending on the age of your Rolex watch, the serial number could be on the steel ring which frames the dial or for older models, between the lug bars. The reference number is located between the 12 o’clock lugs and the serial number is located between the 6 o’clock lugs. To remove the bracelet, you will need a metal pin or something similar to, to be able to push out the spring bar through the holes on either side of the case (pre 2002 models). Once removed you will find a multi digit number which you can cross reference with our chart below. If you have questions, feel free to get in touch!
