Getting Around Warranty Issues...

[Of Watches & Men]

Hi,

Guess at some point of time, a fair number of us have bought a watch from overseas and/or grey market.

We know Rolex and Richemont have no issues servicing the watches so long as the watch is genuine. Some other manufacturers though will request to see the warranty card.

Anyone know how one could get around the warranty issues?

just show them the warranty card. as long as AD stamp and dated you have nothing to fear.

not quite sure what you trying to ask.

1) are you tryin to ask other other brands besides rolex and richemont insist on seeing the warranty card?

2) are you trying to ask if no warranty card, will other brands besides rolex and richemont still service the watch?

if there is no warranty card, then show receipt. if no reciept and no warranty card, i dont see why they wont want to service your watch. unless you are trying to ask if a watch has movement issues but the warranty has expired, how do you get the brand to service it for free....

Haha sorry kinda kuku today with much work issues

To be more specific, I have just gotten a Zenith without warranty card and receipt. Would there be any problem servicing it down the road? Does LVMH insist on seeing a valid warranty card?

When I sent in my Chronoswiss to change the deployant buckle, I got so many questions on where I got the watch, etc... Duh!!! All these for changing the deplyant buckle

Thanks, bros

Can service not a problem long as you pay....for any charges involved

i dont see a reason why LVMH wont service the watch if it is geniune.

maybe chronoswiss staff likes your watch, maybe want to verify that the watch is not stolen, there are many possibilities.

if i were you, i would ask is there a problem? why need to ask so many questions.

Maybe the uncle was bored and trying to talk to me...

Thanks, bros.

Lucky it's a Zenith and doesn't sell through Cortina... Lesser chance that it's stolen. Will test water when I bring in my other Zenith (with valid warranty card) for servicing next month.

LVMH no need warranty card

For example if I have a 6263 with box and undated paper. Say I bring it to RSC for some problem solving, and before I send in, I chop with today's date, can't do?

If 6263 too much, what about 16520? will the aunties there believe me?

[triton]

actually they can track the year of production and sold date provided that the AD send back the information of the watch sold.

so an undated paper makes not much of difference..to me dated is ok...name field best left blank.

if for rolex, it is not that they dont check. they got records of watch being sent in for service. so even if someone sells u a watch that is undated, and it has been serviced before, they know. so there is no escaping....

that is why dated is ok. name field and address field best leave blank
