Serial numbers can be faked, but this is extremely difficult to do well — especially on the inner bezel, where you find the serial number of Rolexes made after 2005. Fraudsters tend to acid-etch the serial number onto the watch rather than engrave it, as engraving is much more difficult. Every single Cartier watch that has ever been designed, manufactured, and released will come with an official serial number. This will typically appear on either the side of the watch, or the external back, and will be a number with no letters.
Watches are one of the most popular products for illegal counterfeit or replica production. To prevent sales of counterfeit watches we have invented a legality confirmation system. All our wristwatches produced from November 19, 2012 and up to February 08, 2017 have a sticker with a special number attached to the instruction manual sheet.
With the help of that number you can check your watches authenticity. You enter the watches number into the apprpriate field, in the next window you'll see your model name, model number and serial number of your watch. This information should fully match the data on your watch back cover and instruction manual sheet - then you can then be rest assured that you're the owner of the fully legal product.
In case the system reports that the number is wrong, please check to be sure that you've entered all the digits correctly. If you've entered all the digits as they should be, but nevertheless the system reports that the number is wrong, this may be an indication that your watch is counterfeit or a replica of the official product. In that case we kindly ask you to get in touch with us as soon as possible by email or by phone.

While Omega keeps the serial number on the inside of the backcase Certina leaves the serial number visible on the out site of the watch back case accompanied with a reference. The two numbers serves the same pourposes as explained in the Omega chapter above-written. Though in the periode dating from 1958 to 1974 the reference number on Certina watch carried an encrypted message giving away, which calibre the watch was equipped with, which material the case was made from and which watch model you are dealing with.
Together with a reference number, the brand Omega placed their serial numbers on the inside of the backcase. One serial number indicates in which year or periode the watch was produced while the other number (the reference number) indicates which model or serie the specific watch belongs to.
In some cases, such as the watches produced by the brand Eterna, serial numbers were not used as markers to know the year of origin. Instead Eterna made sure we can date watches since their calibers were only used in short periods of time.
