Is your Rolex warranty card printed or written?

Would like to know if your Rolex warranty card printed or written or blank ? Does it matter ?

The date is supposed to be written as dd/mm/yyyy, but when we picked mine up at the AD, he filled it out as mm/dd/yyyy. I don't imagine that this would cause any issue if I ever need to send it in for warranty service, since the card is scanned/activated at time of purchase, and I do have the purchase receipt for it.

This for me.

Always amazes me how often there are apparent mistakes or smudged writing in the hand written dates. I guess it’ll be electronically logged but it would annoy me if my brand new watch had a card with something scored out or scribbled over! Probably just my OCD but hard can it be to write down a date…?

On the older card the dealer info is printed, name and date is hand written. On the new card, hand written.

Written. Although I did have an Exp. II in the past that was printed but that was an RSC card not from the AD

On my GMT I wrote the date @ the time of purchase in 2017. On my Daytona it was printed on (2021).

I think most Boutiques and some ADs have the printer to print the sale date on the warranty card. Most ADs just hand write the sale date.

Date is handwritten in European format, as is Rolex’s policy.

All mine are printed. In Japan even the previous style card was all printed as they sent the warranty card a week after you bought the watch. They stopped that now as it’s just the date now that gets printed using their machine.
