Nice catch, can`t be to many of those still around ! And Belgium too.
It’s surprising how many gaps remain for European countries.

1131 = Belgium

In recent months, you sometimes see blank warranty cards and booklets for sale in various places. Both seem quite new, but have a punched country code instead of a stamped one.

Would anyone know where 1132 is?
1131 looks to be Belgium, so I wonder if it's nearby?

Cheers,

Hi, that one is not known yet but certainly nearby or even a 2nd one for Belgium as it usualy splits everything in a Flemish and French part.

I dont know for sure but maybe because there were several importers back then, and some could have been specific for tax free/airport shops ?

They are not all accurate. Japanese reseller retailers will stamp a blank warranty card with their details. I’ve seen made Japanese stamped cards that emanate from Australia (i.e. with the Australia code). I’ve one here from Germany also.

Hi OF, if someone knows something about the 5021, I would be interested...
Did you ever figure it out? I have the same number?

Another unusual one spotted in a regional Aussie antique mall.

Might get my Darlin' to see if there's any more info inside the papers, the shop stamp is illegible, maybe an hotel boutique somewhere?

Howdy folks, found this forum by trying to learn more about my Vintage Day Date Seamaster. For the longest time I believed the 2011 was a model but now I know it's the USA code. Appreciate all the knowledge, this is my second Omega I inherited. I love my Pumpkin Seamaster(Planet Ocean) the most of all my Swiss masterpieces.

Melbourne AU. Warranty in 1970, no sign of country code on mine, it may have re-inked after printing and its faded.... I haven't looked at for many years.
