I wouldn't say it is a fake. It just depends on the person writing it. Some would spell out the month, some wont. Just depends on the AD's sales person. I don't think there is a particular standard. One of my card is mm-dd-yyyy and another is m-d-yy from the same AD and the same sales person.

Where 12/1/19 is the same as 1/12/19? ![]() The logical order is day - month - year.

warranty card date dd-mmm-yyyy format in hongkong AD
There are a couple of different date formats around the world printed on the card. A few I've seen:
US: MM/DD/YYYY Canada: YYYY/MM/DD UK/Europe: DD.MM.YYYY Hong Kong: DD-MMM-YYYY Then it's up to the person filling them in correctly. I've had a Canadian card simply filled out as e.g. "December 2017" with no actual date. The fonts on the warranty card also differ sometimes. US/Canadian cards also come with the bracelet/dial information, while many others don't have that info printed, just the model and serial. Here is a Canadian card with a different format as an example: ![]() |

Hard to say the warranty card is fake or not. Best bet would be go to a local AD or RSC (if you have one in the area) and get it swiped to check the authenticity! Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk |

Chow Sang Sang is a Rolex AD in Hong Kong. This warranty card showed 888 on the top right corner. That meant it is a Rolex from Hong Kong. Looks like everything is in order.
dd-mmm-yyyy is the way that Hong Kong lists date. This is due to the British influence as Hong Kong was a Crown Colony. |

Your card looks absolutely legit. The printed date format varies across countries, and ADs don’t follow the suggested format anyway.
