The wrong card or certificate can cause issues later on or affect the resale value when you come to sell the watch on. Unless you are buying from an authorized retailer, then all watches are complete with the correct paperwork / card as they will most likely be new, however although its unlikely a card or certificate is miss-matched at the branch, its always better to check at the point of sale as mistakes do happen. The importance of the serial and model number identification system is that when buying any Rolex watch, you are confident in ensuring that the watch you are buying is correct to the year and model being sold by the seller.
