Very interesting, Elmar. It can also be seen, that the warranty card is still different between the US and Europe. Not only the language is different (english/french), but on the US card is still mentioned in addition to the Europe-card the dial and the bracelet No.. On the Europe-card is still mentioned the client No., which is missing on the US-card and was also missing on the old paperwarranties for the US.

BTW: The new wallet for the US-paperworks reminds me on the wallets used by another watchmaker since many years. DANGER: Rolex-Purists should not look to the following picture!



The picture shows the wallet and the paperwork for my Breitling Cosmonaute bought 2002. The type of wallet seems similar to the new Rolex-wallet for the US.
