Have you been browsing the internet looking for watches? I know the feeling.
Although the sold watches haven’t been recalled, Tudor can track the watches that come in to be serviced on the guarantee to see which period of production the problem has started/ended and use that information to improve. Tudor has produced a GMT model where the date wheel has an issue of advancing between 0.5-1.5 days.
Commonly, the brands will use this information if there was to be any recalls or problems with a produced product. The serial number is also a way for the brands to track the watches from when they leave the production. However, if your watch is bought second hand and doesn’t have papers, you will need to look at the case to find the serial number. However, if the serial number can’t be found or you have to remove a strap and don’t want to bother, you can look at your papers, which came with the watch.īesides the watch’s case, reputable watches come with papers of authenticity, where the serial number should be written. Even on watches considered sh*t and cheap like Daniel Wellington, Tommy Hilfiger, Armani, etc. the serial number is engraved somewhere on the watch. On reputable brands such as Rolex, Omega, Certina, Hamilton, Zenith, etc.
