Saudi Arabia Dial with country code of Kuwait?

[AhFran]

Need some experts opinion....

Just wondering whether a Rolex Datejust 16013 with a Saudi Arabia crest will come with a punched paper with country code (533), i.e. Kuwait?

Or the Saudi Arabia crest should/must come with country codes of Saudi Arabia?

Looking forward for any inputs...

Cheers,
Francis

Congrats on your fisrt post in 8 years.....welcome....the country code for Kuwait is 965 not sure what exactly youy are asking....punched what paper?

Thanx Karl...

I think the country code from Kuwait is 533? Maybe the code has changed recently?

What I am asking is: In the 60-80s, there were different crests installed in the Rolex watches like Saudi Arabia Army Crest...for sale.

I am just wondering whether it is possible for a watch with Saud Arabia Army Crest but the punched paper was stated as "533" and not the Saudi Arabia country codes like "529", or "532".

Since it is originally produced for Saudi Arabia's army, is it must come with the Saudi Arabia's country code and not Kuwait's country code?

He meant the Rolex country code, not the international phone country "+" code

A picture of the watch would be nice... Is it the attached watch?
Regardless of the logo, each country should come with its respective paper. In your case, the Saudi dial was added to a Kuwait watch....

Well that makes sense thought I was going crazy

Thanx Lamone... Your picture is exactly what I am referring to...

So, do you think it is legitimate and correct? Would it originally existed like this? A Saudi's crest dial sold at Kuwait with a Kuwait code paper?

Or simply a normal watch sold from Kuwait and being restored a Saudi's crest dial?

In my opinion the dial is NOT original to the watch. It is a normal Kuwait watch with its paper. The Saudi dial was added at a later time, most probably to increase the watch's price.
A GENUINE Kuwait dial is extremely hard to acquire.
