Rolex Oyster Case Production Date Table

The serial number can be found on your Rolex warranty papers or on the watch.  On non-oyster cases, the serial number can be found on the outside of the case back and/or inside the case back.  On a vintage or modern oyster case watch, the serial number can be found on the case between the lugs at the 6th hour.  If you cannot find the serial number, we suggest you take it to your local authorized Rolex dealer so he or she can assist you.
