Not in USA or the date on the card would be 3.14.2020.

I think you might be correct. Having lived in Europe on and off for over 12 years, I am pretty confident this is from there. Notice how the number 1 is written which is very common to their writing style. Looking at part of the OP’s screen name, I have to be almost certain that he is in the Netherlands. Fittingly, until recently, I lived in Landgraaf, Netherlands for about 3 years.

at the bottom right it says DD-MM-YYYY

so guessing they had no choice? although a US one could be different...

I saw the same photo on the Dutch local rolex forum. So new style card is probably issued in the European Union first.

I cannot comment on the card it self but I traded a lot with that dealer and he is 100% legit (https://precisionwatches.nl/)

This is great news. I am one of those who hate other peoples names on the card and I have no purchase experience with any Rolex AD to getting one new was quite impossible. In a year or so when these are fully rolled out I'll pick a sub c no date out from a grey

Getting rid of names on the cards is a good idea.

But now RSC NY might actually have to have the warranty follow the watch and not the owner! What will the do!?

I agree that’s probably not a U.S. card.

Definatley a European date format and the number one is European style as well with the diagonal stroke starting from left. Germans write number ones in this manner, from my experience.

Where did you "receive" the picture from? Are you looking at buying the watch, or?
I'd hold off till I confirmed this card/the watch is legitimate.

I have no reason to doubt the authenticity of the watch or new warranty card style. I believe in the past, DavidSW alerted the TRF community about the switch from the Rolex green credit card style warranty cards to the recent white credit card style warranty cards. Perhaps one of the Boutique Sellers can confirm.

This will be the new card format

No names on cards anymore

Once Rolex reopens they will do a Rollout. Will be sometime before it is done by every dealer

Same as the current warranty card style took over a year to fully roll out

To me, this is fantastic news. Now everyone who disliked buying grey/private because their name wasn’t on the card, no longer have anything to fret about. Not to mention, this completely does away with any talk of Rolex trying to not honor service because the name is different. NICEEEE

Will this make the stock inventory even less due to ad back doors selling to greys ? There is no ads and purchaser name not even country codes I assume

Have the terms of the warranty changed?
