Hi all ust bought a watch from local 2nd hand dealer..it comes with cert. which was a green card but stated country arkarta,indonesia..ust want to know does it matter in anyway tks..

As long as it is authentic. It does not matter which AD it is bought from. Do not worry and enjoy your watch.

okok..thanks & appreciate !

best is to get the watch authenticated if you are unsure.

coming with a warranty card without AD stamp does not mean the watch is authentic.

u can always check the serial number on the watch which must match that on the warranty card.

AD stamp- does it mean printer printed on the card or does it mean rubber stamp? Or both is a must to have?
Does different region have different practice ?
US warranty card layout and information is different from Singapore.

AD stamp = rubber stamp.

i have seen at least 3 different variations. one with details minus AD details. one with details without serial number. one with details with AD details printed.

rolex now keeps a database (believe electronically) where each watch is sent to which AD. can you imagine if the details on the card dont match the records on rolex database?

Usually, the card shows the "country code" instead of country name. Unless, you are referring the stamp from the AD. If you want to be sure, just send to RSC for verification. But I am not sure whether they charge for verification of card.

Out of the 3 different variations, the 3rd one seems fine missing rubber stamp which can easily be corrected. The 1st two are

I can't imagine if the details dont match.

hi bro "serial number on the watch" means is outside and can see it ?

if there is rolex chapter ring aka there is engraving on the inner bezel of case, six o'clock position will display the serial number of watch.

if there is no rolex chapter ring, then the serial number is engrave between the lug @ the 6 o'clock position.

there is a difference in retail price. why? because after the currency conversion in europe and us would have different retail price in SG.

doesnt matter which country printed on the cert because all rolex come from the same one and only factory in geneva switzerland
and prices are controlled strictly by rolex so ADs over the world sell their rolex at the same retail price

if the card/paper does not bear country code 430, i wont offer the same buying price (BNIB) set.

even if it bears country code 430, i would take precautionary measures as well.
