	Rolex case serials run on three systems by era: a long numeric counter through 1987, a single-letter prefix from 1987 to mid-2010, and a random alphanumeric string after that. A serial dates the case alone, and the year it gives is always approximate. Vintage authentication needs the serial to agree with the bracelet, dial, and movement.

The questions a collector asks of a vintage Rolex bracelet are always the same four: what is it, what end links fit, what year does the clasp code suggest, and is it original, period-correct, or a later service replacement.
