Are there any Rolex models that were made specifically for the Japanese market...

Well not really Submariners only but all models meant for the HK market.

What you meant is the country code which is 888 for HK and 460 for Singapore , 431 for Malaysia etc. Different codes for different countries.

ALL models meant for that market will have the same code. It is not part of the serial number and is not engraved on the watch....it just appears on the paper/card that comes with the watch.

Thanks for clarifying! I was under the impression they were used in the serial number. Thanks for the heads up.
