Can anyone help shine some light on this cert. The numbers don't correspond to the case or movement number of the watch. The number seems too low to be a serial (dated 1972). What does the "4374" refer to?

anyone?

What is your cert #?

ROLLiWORKS · 14 February 2015, 05:04 AM

Wouldn't the 4374 be the cert#? This watch didn't come with the full page Chrono cert.

Let me get this right, do you have a paper cert or the newer style card?

Can you post a pic of it?

ROLLiWORKS · 15 February 2015, 12:20 PM

oops I thought it was attached.

Don't know..

I would say that that cert is a non-authentic copy

ROLLiWORKS · 16 February 2015, 06:13 AM

the cert looks just like this one

But those aren't right either..

If those were authentic and came with the watch then the No: XXXXXXX would be the serial number of the watch, not the model number. Having a model number there is pretty meaningless as they then don't really go with any watch in particular. They can also be copied with almost any decent copy machine

Those style certs are actually fold-up booklets and were used for about 10 years, up until ~1966. On the back they would have (in tri-fold) the instructions on how to use the watch..

As Larry has said, these certs were used from 1955 to 1966....... So definitely not in 1972 when punched papers were in use.....

See the attached website, which is great for accessory information.....

Makes me wonder about OP's watch?

ROLLiWORKS · 16 February 2015, 07:17 AM

It's a trifold, but I think you guys are right. This cert doesn't belong to the watch. Likely, the date and store were written after the fact (blue ink).

If the 4374 is not a serial but rather a model #, it poses the question... what the heck is a model 4374?
