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..
