Rolex stopped green holograms on back of watches ?

[donjuanm]

Hi all,

I just heard from someone who looked at Rolex Watches at an official dealer in NYC that Rolex is just stopping putting green holograms on the back of their watches. Also the certificates will change will be in the format of a credit card.

Anyone who can confirm this?
What might they instead use on the watch - a hidden RFID chip/tag ?

as for the watch case back, I saw numbers "laser etched?" on the case back. I don't know if this was just on the transparent sticker with the red line, or it was actually etched (black) on to the caseback. AD showed it to me just last month.

Navigater,

thanks for the very interesting info.
So anyone heard whether they are introducing something other more complicated to fight fakes ? (Like RFID-chips?)
