Good to know
Does that mean, therefore, one need have no reservations when buying a new Rolex with an older serial number? You hear people refusing to accept a watch that is not the latest serial (suggesting it has been sat unsold in the AD for awhile), or demanding a discount on the basis of the argument that it would need a routine overhaul sooner.
(leaving aside the new apparently randomized serials which would neutralize this issue)
