Age determination of Rolex watches
To determine the value before selling a Watch, an age determination of Rolex Watches is necessary. For this purpose, the serial number is usually used, which can provide information about the age when the Watch was manufactured.
Rolex Watches are of special value and enjoy high esteem among collectors as well as enthusiasts. But how exactly can the age of a Rolex Watch be determined? For this, the serial number is the central element and of great importance. The serial number is usually engraved on the case back and, in addition to the papers, can provide valuable information about the Watch.
