Rolex warranty card under UV light : pics

Au naturel :



Et voila, UV :



Are the fakers copying Rolex warranty cards ? Ohhhhhh yes. If they can do Chip and Pin credit cards, this will be easy.

With kind regards,

That's why I always buy Rolex without any papers

Than I am positive that they aren't copies.

How many of us are now going retrieve our warranty cards from the box to check this under a black light?

Cool. Didn't know about that. Breitling's digital e-warranty card is interesting as well, RFID chip that can only be read AD's, once you purchase, it is activated with date, warranty, Serial#, COSC etc and sent to Breitling digitially..whole new level of limiting use of blank warranty cards with pen and ink info. Example below (not my image).

Many a bad watch has a fake warranty card with a matching number, and the quality of such cards has been getting better.

One also gets genuine warranty cards or papers which have been made to match a watch.....by erasing the watch's correct number and applying that from the papers / card in its place !

In summary, don't take too much comfort from matching the two !

With kind regards,

Haywood Milton

Great info - thanks!

I guess counterfeiters can duplicate but first they have to know it's a hidden security feature. I imagine the goal is to stop the ones who don't know of the UV holograms.

Cool indeed.

The same thing would happen if you look at a Rolex dial under UV light ...

LOL, j/k

But this is good to know and first time read about it!
