US sold watches say D-Blue and the rest of the world don't for whatever reason.

Wrong, I am from Canada and mine says D-BLUE so it is not unique to the US.

Got mine from an English AD and I can confirm that it also says D-BLUE on the warranty card...out of interest what does the 98210 refer to?

@dogpawss -- Thank you for your reply. Looks like Japan and HK sourced watches from AD are similar then. Just Serial and Model Number.

98210 is the specific stainless steel bracelet on the Deepsea models.

In the future is it possible that the 116660 with "D-Blue " on the warranty are going to be worth more since there is going to be more clarity in the origins versus non " D-Blue" warranty card ones?

It might make it easier for a buyer to feel at ease, BUT many have stated that if you contact the Rolex service center with the serial number, their system confirms the dial that the specific watch was build with--so even watches with the more vague warranty cards should be fine.

Possibly.
But given the feedback on this issue to date, it would appear that only the totally ignorant may be swayed by the extra info on the warranty card.

With some LC codes on the warranty card is written D-Blue and some not.
For example in Germany LC100 it's not written, Italy LC170 it's written.

Thats correct mainly because Rolex USA is a separate company from Rolex SA and the rest of the world.

Not all warranties indicate D-Blue i can confirm this also. One has to be cautious of people swapping dials with Rolex or aftermarket non original ones.

That is a good and correct point.

Mine was from South Carolina in the U.S. says D-BLUE on the warranty card. Also found this custom made d-blue dial on ebay, I reported it once last week, still there. Can we please get that taken down?

Look at this on eBay

His username is generixmia, located in Miami. It says that 8 of these have sold so that just means there will be 8 more fakes out there probably in either regular black dssd's or in replicas. If you look at his other items for sale there are a lot of custom dials, aftermarket parts etc... I would like to see this guy removed from ebay.

As stated many bought in Europe don't say D Blue

I bought mine from a AD in Frankfurt, and all it has on the front of the card is:

Serial XXXXXXXX

Model 116660

That's it.
