I could only find a pic of the 126500 hang tag but it's the same case with the 116500 for the colour code..Screenshot_20241005_092040_Chrome.jpg

The white tag is important and it makes a “complete” set for modern Rolex. It’s not as important as the warranty, but important enough to identify the exact model of a particular reference, like 126710BLRO-001 for jubilee and 002 for oyster. That’s the only “birth certificate” to show this vital info.
I rather have the white tag directly from Rolex than a receipt from the AD. No reason why you can’t get the white tag when you purchase the watch directly from AD, if the AD end up throwing it away because for sure they don’t send those back to Rolex |

As long as the parts are authentic and belong to the reference, what difference does it make? It only makes a difference in the ridiculous world of the internet. White tag. Coffin. White sleeve. Don’t polish. All lunacy. It’s just a watch.

Should that be a deal breaker?

No worries if you buy from AD on tag, but, if offered the white tag with watch from AD, I don’t know who would decline it. |

don't think it matters, because WHITE is printed on the warranty card.

All this white tag stuff did not start till around 2015 it was mainly for Rolex factory reference and AD reference even now many ADs do not give the white inventory plastic tag.And most all things regarding the watch is now on the warranty card which is far more important than the white tag.

It isn’t important but it’s nice to have them. With the exception of an Explorer I purchased from a grey dealer out of NYC, I have the white hang tag for all of my watches and I have a little pouch with all accessories for each watch.
I wear the watches and collect the accessories. Funny how that works! I don’t believe having a tag adds any significant value. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Clearly having the white tag is critical for a very special few.

They dial swap OP Turquoise models ALL the time, because you can buy a cheap black OP and insert a custom Tiffany dial. The warranty card shows the right model, but you can get bamboozled on the dial and it’s worth thousands less. Hence me saying I would have never bought mine without it, as I bought it grey, not from an AD. There’s a lot of silly things posted on this forum deserving of criticism. But you’re missing the mark on this one

No one here is saying only watches that come with white hang tags should be purchased on the aftermarket. Just stating that the white tag does play a part in helping someone understand how that watch was sold originally. It's crazy how many watches on 47th Street get parts swapped in and out of them all the time, watch grey dealers are like car scrap yards. The watches mean nothing to them and get tossed around, parts getting replaced all the time. Again nothing wrong with this, if that's your cup of tea. Sent from my SM-S916W using Tapatalk |

Rolex Geneva boutique , which used to be the only point of sale operated by Rolex, removes the white tag and actually destroy it ,they keep the bezel protector and they also keep the sleeve but you get the bill of sale which is probably as good .

Do you have first hand experience with this on a 116520? I'm curious where your info comes from. Thanks! |

My personal take is that, I don’t care if my OP was originally black, if the turquoise dial in it is a real Rolex dial fitting my model. However, there are some instances where I think it makes sense to want some assurance about the original configuration - e.g. a 16610LV, but everyone’s tolerance for this is different |

I usually ask for a copy of the flight log from Switzerland. You have to be able to fill trace every step from the factory or it’s not a complete set

I've seen a 2021 example listed and it states that it comes with the new style NFC card. Does this type of card link the watch to the correct dial. If so, would the inclusion of a white tag be of less significance? Thanks

In the UK ADs give the white tag from my experience. If buying from Grey try to buy with white tag, it will be easier to sell and get a better price if you decide to sell later. Card and white tag are the most important. Everything else is replaceable. Buy your peace of mind with a card and white tag especially on special dials and Panda Daytona.

Watches are now super cloned to where some dealers are fooled yet people can’t imagine how easily these tags can be fabricated. Comical.
