Warranty card holder
Hi guys,
I picked up a watch from a TS a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that the Warranty Card holder has a gold coloured triangle printed on the left upper corner, I have never seen this before Is this something new or is it releative to the country of purchase. The photo is one I picked up from the net. |

If it's a mistake, keep it. Could be worth thousands one day.

I’ve seen a lot of cards and holders from a lot of countries and I’ve never seen that before.
Doesn’t mean anything though as it’s not uncommon for Rolex to make tiny changes like that that are short lived or region specific. |

Purchased a 116610LN and 126710BLRO a couple months ago in the US and they both had those card holders.

Thanks for the input guys I appreciate it. It looks like it's country releated as I picked up a BLRO from a U.K. AD a few weeks ago and it doesn't have it

Yes. As I understand it, the gold triangle is US AD. This is similar to the previous generation warranty card where Rolex US AD had the “brochure”/booklet style warranty holder, while non-Rolex US AD countries had a green leather “wallet” warranty holder.
Someone can fact check me on this, but this is what I recall. |

Seems like all Rolex watches I have bought in the last 2 years have that triangle. All bought from US ADs.

Just wanted to add my 2-cents to this thread. I recently picked up a Submariner Hulk of US origin, came with the warrantee card holder and it has the exact same gold triangle in the upper corners on both sides.

Do the boxes/card holders/etc all come from the factory? Or are they processed in different places? Seems odd to have variances... in terms of manufacturing costs/quality control etc.

Completely unacceptable and I would not stand for that! We pay a lot for these watches so send it to RSC to be fixed.

I'm not really surprised about this variance. |

US AD watches that I have purchased have the gold triangle in the upper left corner.

I also got one.
ROLEX SA - GENEVE SUISSE Ref. 4365545.276 I think it has to do with the country specific deliveries. However, this is only an hypothesis and not confirmed. |
