Hi Guys,

Recieved this picture today regarding new Rolex cards.

Is this a new trend?

I just bought my Sub 4 days ago and mine does not look like this. I’m in the US.

Not in USA or the date on the card would be 3.14.2020.

Getting rid of names on the cards is a good idea.

I think you might be correct. Having lived in Europe on and off for over 12 years, I am pretty confident this is from there. Notice how the number 1 is written which is very common to their writing style. Looking at part of the OP’s screen name, I have to be almost certain that he is in the Netherlands. Fittingly, until recently, I lived in Landgraaf, Netherlands for about 3 years.

I agree that’s probably not a U.S. card.

Definatley a European date format and the number one is European style as well with the diagonal stroke starting from left. Germans write number ones in this manner, from my experience.

Looks like a finger print in bottom left corner, that would be interesting

Where did you "receive" the picture from? Are you looking at buying the watch, or?
I'd hold off till I confirmed this card/the watch is legitimate.

I have no reason to doubt the authenticity of the watch or new warranty card style. I believe in the past, DavidSW alerted the TRF community about the switch from the Rolex green credit card style warranty cards to the recent white credit card style warranty cards. Perhaps one of the Boutique Sellers can confirm.

This will be the new card format

No names on cards anymore

Once Rolex reopens they will do a Rollout. Will be sometime before it is done by every dealer

Same as the current warranty card style took over a year to fully roll out

Some may not care, but I did like having my name on the warranty card. For a special watch I am bequeathing to my son, I had his name on the warranty card.

No more AD name on the card either (unless it is on the back or obscured in the picture)? How will Rolex ever track where all the grey/ flipped watches come from now?!

Assuming the AD name is not on the new warranty cards, Rolex will be able to track watches by the serial # of the watch.

Cool!!!
Looks nice. Though I kind of liked the name of the
Original buyer on the card. Not a deal breaker though.

To me, this is fantastic news. Now everyone who disliked buying grey/private because their name wasn’t on the card, no longer have anything to fret about. Not to mention, this completely does away with any talk of Rolex trying to not honor service because the name is different. NICEEEE

Will this make the stock inventory even less due to ad back doors selling to greys ? There is no ads and purchaser name not even country codes I assume

Write your name above the date if you want?

I don’t see that as an issue.
