Much about Rolex is ONE big "WHY?", isn't it? Rolex is and has always been very secretive!

I cannot tell you the answer.

I can find out for you which letters Rolex have not used yet.

But that does not prove anything.

Rolex does want Rolex wants to.

My understanding is that Rolex is going (or has gone to) some type of random serial numbering system. The purpose of which I believe is to curtail counterfiting attempts.
I'm sure Rolex will be able to "track" your watch if/when it goes in for service.
Whether this system is in effect yet or not I don't know. Certainly there are watches in the pipeline still that bear a letter prefix.

Thanks, Mike. Basically my words

As far as I have understood, yes, Rolex will be able to track the date of manufacture, but only Rolex will know the secret behind the numbers since they are randomly made and kept.........for their records only.
