ROLEX Pocket Reference

"Rolex Pocket Reference" is the ultimate hand-held reference for buying and properly appraising vintage Rolex wristwatches.

"When I was first getting into the business of buying and selling vintage and pre-owned watches, I carried a little index card with hand written notes.  This is a copy of that hand-written index card."

The "Rolex Codes" application for the iPhone and iPod Touch, includes the following information:

-Serial Number / Date of Production reference: simply find your serial number on the sliding scale to find the year of production.  This is absolutely necessary when determining if your dial has the correct configuration.
-Bracelet Codes: Rolex bracelets have reference numbers and clasp codes.  You can determine the approximate age from the clasp code and the bracelet reference number must be correct for your watch head.  Be sure of this by using the Bracelet Code reference.
-Country Codes: reference the numbers on your paperwork to determine the original Country of origin.  
-Model Reference: each corresponding model with the reference number.  

Please consider downloading the "Rolex Pocket Reference" application and using this powerful tool.
