Quick Q -

has anyone came across a "T" random serial?

mas69 · 27 October 2010, 05:51 AM

The G prefix is for Rolexes manufactured from July 2010 - I hear they will become real collector pieces on the account they didn't make many before deciding on the random serial number system.

Yes there is a "G" serial No, Just bought a new Datejust from a authorised Rolex dealer in Australia, G053XXXX, Best Wishes to all for the New Year!!

I saw a G serial LN-C yesterday. My LV-C bought a month ago is a v serial and it was sent straight from Rolex to the branch.
I also saw a GMTIIC in the same window and it was an M serial. It had not been there long as the case side stickers were still perfect. This is an AD with a speedy turn over in sports models ans so it was probably recent

this is the new random serial i think.

From what i can gather, the G-series comes after the V-series. I know many have said it is random (the G) but it is not. It may also be used in the random, but i looked a a few subs (no date) brfore christmas and the were all G's seven digit, which indicates they are 'standard' numbers. My take on it is, Z to M to V to G to random.

Sorry but there has been no Rolex watch ever as far as I am aware of. Thats become collectible by real Rolex collectors just because of a case stamp, don't believe in the Internet Rolex myths.

Isn't this part of what being a WIS is all about?

If people want to obsess, let them...

My 39mm Explorer has the "G" s/n. I was a little worried, But I got it from DavidSW. Enough said!!!

I also thought it was the random s/n but only has the letter G in the begining.
Now that the serial number discussion is here, I'll bet you the clasp code obsessed WIS is next!!!

thesmallwave · 30 December 2010, 01:47 AM

My Sub C black is V 90xxx4, came to me from Rolex.

MortgageGuy · 30 December 2010, 01:48 AM

Yeah... I just picked up my new Ceramic LV and it starts with a G also... who knows...

14060Perfection · 1 January 2011, 11:14 PM

My 14060M is G007***

Aspirin · 1 January 2011, 11:55 PM

Don't expect too much for the latest G serial, oldie better than new stuff most of the time.

G or V or Random - they are all the same

Yes, but people like to chase for latest product.

Yes, but not everyone though. I'm sure there will be some peep going for a V serial if there is a health discount attached to it rather than a Random serial.....

Conductor · 2 January 2011, 05:31 AM

Hmmm...for some odd reason my sub doesn't have a letter in the serial??? does this mean its fake??

:

alexxelor · 3 January 2011, 02:12 AM

maybe after the serial letter V one serial old style with a letter and six numbers and one serial with 8 numbers/letter random . very strange .......we think that the eight random numbers and letters are the new frontier

Who will be the last?
