If you knew, you'd be a watch enthusiast! What year was the Rolex born until the serial number shows the year of manufacture?

A ” Birth Year Watch ” refers to a watch with the same year of birth as yours. It is known as a style of choosing a luxury watch. Rolex watches, which are particularly valuable, can only be identified by their serial numbers up to a certain year, so many collectors buy them as special birth year watches, and their value continues to rise.

The serial number gives the approximate year of manufacture, Rolex, to 2010!

It is said that Rolexes before 2010 G can be identified by their serial numbers, such as R for 1988, P for 2000, and so on, by the first letter of the serial number, which is assigned according to the year of manufacture. The first letter of the serial number is assigned according to the year of manufacture, for example, R for 1988 and P for 2000. The chronology was completed by the luxury watch store “Commit Ginza,” which is favored by many collectors, based on their own research and permission to make it public. We hope you will try to find the serial number that corresponds to your birth year using this as a reference. Incidentally, since 2010, the chronology has been randomized, so it is no longer possible to guess the year of manufacture by the serial number.

Although there are other ways to determine the year of manufacture other than serial numbers, it is a great point to be able to identify the approximate year of manufacture by the serial number engraved on the watch itself. Commitee Ginza has many appraisers who are experienced in handling vintage Rolex watches, so if you are interested, please consult with them.
