| Starting in 2010, Rolex changed the case numbering system again. The serial number is now 8 digits and consists of a combination of random numbers and letters. From 2010 only Rolex knows the production year of the watch. |
In early 2010, Rolex changed the case numbering system.
The serial number now has 8 digits and not 7 digits as before. It consists of a randomly generated combination of numbers and letters. As a result, from now on only Rolex knows the production year of the watch.
