D series for new old stocks sounds too old, it starts with D right? A/N will have Alphabet in the middle.

i'm not an expert on serial numbers, just learning from various internet sources.

the Bob's Watches site can apparently check your serial number and tell you the year of manufacture. D series is around the 2005 period. it can even decipher my "random series" serial number, but i'm taking it with a pinch of salt. supposedly only Rolex knows the actual manufacture date for random serial numbers.

Rolex has been using 8-digit randomly generated serial numbers since 2009/2010. how many digits does your serial number contain? if you serial number has 7 digits, then it is a legacy serial numbers from the old series.

legacy means very old liao??

Hi just gotten my new datejust (pink mop dial with roman letters) from dickson. . However noticed that from the warranty card is a "D" series. . tat means the watch had been sitting in the shop for 8 years already??

Did I just got screwed over by them???

i am planning to get the new yachtmaster with blue dial
but hardly see resale for this model

The model you looking at is consider pretty new... Furthermore, YM series may not be as popular as sub or gmt, so people that usually buy it are those that like it very much. Therefore might not have the intention to flip it that soon... Anyway, good luck and all the best in your hunt. Cheers

Thank you(; anyway by his reply seems like he got no convenient time to follow anyone ard for verification. I got no choice but to give it a miss..

You could get him to do verification with you at those reputable 3rd party workshop, they usually able to do it on the spot. Cheers

It is normal that seller does not want to waste 3hrs of his time to sell his watch to you.

I think it's normal for anyone that wants to buy a watch, wants to get it at a reasonable price and with a piece of mind. Furthermore, he stated that he is new to rolex, and might not know what to check when given the watch... So give him a chance bro. If everyone give a reply like yours, then what's the point of a forum. All of us here have the same hobby and just wants to have fun hanging around here.
