Country Codes

Hi everyone,

I just flipped my Y-series white dial explorer II for a F-series black dial.

How can I check for a country code of 410? Can't seemed to find at most of the country codes 'website', as it's not listed.

For advise, please.

Thanks so much....

Are you 100% confident in the source of the Explorer?

That's the main thing. I only asked as I can't find any reference to it anywhere either, the only mention was on a TZ thread where someone thought a country code may have changed from previously being 410 to something else.

Maybe someone else can help.

I checked Oysterworld. No mention of 410 as a country code. But, it may have just recently changed.

The paper indicated country code as 410, and the AD's name is written in Japanese....serial number is F97XXXX. dated 25 Sep 2005...the dealer told me that the watch is still under warranty.

I've checked the clasp code...it's MA2...meaning it's feb 2005...so everything's in order...from what i see...

Or could it be Rolex added in new code for Japan? Like Hong Kong has up to 3 country codes.... hmnnnn

Well think that is more than possible with the ADs name in Japanese and with countries like HK,Korea.Taiwan all start with 4.

The most important thing for you is the watch,although you still have a few months left on the warranty.But would doubt if its transferable its normally to the first named on papers,but take it to a AD perhaps they could tell you.But everything sounds fine with serial etc,Rolex most times can be quite secretive about there codes.And nothing official is published most of the codes have been compiled over the years though forums and other WIS type guys.And afraid not all of them are there, and you cannot 100% guarantee all are correct on web.
