Question about G serialed Sub-C
Hello fellas;
Just reading about history of the Sub (looking for a birth year watch for a friend) and I know that Rolex switched to random serial in 2010 or about. However, my Sub-C was purchased in 2013 and the serial starts w/ a G (which I suspect not random?). Does that sound factual? Thank you. p.s. I have G plus 6 numbers |

Edit : I assume you made a correction in the year the random serial was implemented. I was responding to your original question . |

G serial and random were being produced simultaneously for 2 years or so.

With the letter prefix serials, Rolex has always had 2 and even 3 in release at the same time; there is a lot of carry over and each prefix was in production for 2 to 4 years.
Same with Randoms.. Randoms came out in 2010 but everything else did not suddenly stop. They continued to release V serials concurrently with the Randoms, and they then released G serials in late 2010, after Randoms. (charts that plug-in G to 2009 are wrong, there was no new prefix release seen in 2009) So, V and G were in production concurrently with Random serials, with G being the final letter prefix release, carrying easily into 2013 or longer.
