Hi, guys,

Do anyone know that the replacement case serial numbers should start from 4.4million or 4.44 million?

Thanks.

Generally 4.4M although there have been some 4.3M reported. Then later 4.7M as well.

For 5 series cases was on 44xxxxxx now on 47xxxxxx.

If my case is 440x case, does this mean it must be a replacement case? It has a guarantee paper.

how can we know it must be a replacement case?

Yes, that’s a replacement case. Are you referring original Rolex guarantee paper? What year is on it?

Yes, 1976.

Various tables list 4,115,000 – 4,260,000 and then 5,000,000 – 5,085,000 for 1976 with the missing 4.3 ~ 4.9M reserved for service cases.

1976 seems to be a pretty rare date for Rolex pieces for some reason. I guess conceivably it could fit into that date range being a 4.4m but generally that’s expected to be service case numbers. Maybe Rolex could confirm?

99% sure it is a replaced case. There’s no rush to learn that factoid if you like the watch and are keeping it.

But you can learn it’s pedigree with certainty when it’s ready for a service. Just use the RSC and ask if that is the original case or a replacement.
