Hi

A while ago I bought an Omega Olympic five counters and the seller (not the first owner) told me that he was serviced but on the card it's written the date 16.6.04 and on initial warranty card 14/06/04. Because this model from my knowledge arrive in 2008 I felt that something it's not ok so I asked the seller and told me that the date it's written from right to left..which explain something..so please let me know if that it's true i n some Asian country..

Thank you for your help..

 

Does the serial number on the case match the watch? Was that the reference number for that watch?

 

I can tell you that on many official forms in China, the date is written
YYYY-MM-DD
I can't speak for Hong Kong or Singapore, but I would guess they'd follow the same pattern as the British use.

 

in China the date is written from year/month/day
in Malaysia & Singapore the date is written day/month/year

 

The service card and paperwork is originally from Japan. It is written in Japanese. They will follow the Chinese format in writing the year month and date

 

Actually, that was helpful! Good catch that you saw it was Japanese.

 

Yes the serial number match the one from the case..I presume that the reference number of the watch it's the one from the cards..

 

Thank you for all the answers..it was a great help for me..
