New Warranty Cards - Printed Date w/ Asterisk?

[dmash]

Has anybody seen the date printed like below (pulled from the internet, only other example I could find)? My buddy is in the midst of purchasing a watch from another individual, but the card looks like this. The watch checks out and everything looks legit, only this part which I didn't have a clue either. Does this asterisk denote something? or just a chain of ADs who print the date like this? Anybody have an idea?

No.
Mine was hand written in pen by the AD upon date of purchase.

Only way of knowing is to ask the orginal buyer or that AD store.

I’d have to look at mine. No idea

Agreed. All of mine have been handwritten.

Yeah smaller ADs hand write, a lot of big name Rolex chains and Rolex boutiques themselves print them though. However, I’ve never seen one printed *with* the asterisk.
