Buying on TRF

If I purchase a watch, Rolex or AP from a TRF like DavidSw will the watch still be under the factory warranty? If i need to have it sized or any other minor issues, will they do it at the Rolex/AP Boutique.

Many discussions about this but the short answer is yes to the warranty. Some ADs may charge for a sizing etc. good luck!

It depends on the watch. Sellers like DavidSW and Takuya will probably have what you are looking for in a variety of conditions. Some will still have some warranty, others won't. Some have the 3 year warranty and the newer will have the 5 year warranty. Also, if there is a watch you want, contact them and they can get you a brand new one, with your name on the warranty card.

Always best to ask -

my experience is sellers mentioned (David and Takuya) are open with this information and are more than happy to make you comfortable with your purchase.

I have always had minor items, including sizing, done by a local AD.

I don't have an AP AD in my area, by my Rolex AD has always been happy to size any watch I bring in at no charge

Happy Hunting

If watches are under factory warranty doesn't matter who or where you buy from. I also edited your thread title to state "on" vs "from" TRF as we don't sell watches.

Your profile shows NY - are you close to the city? Have it sized at the AP boutique.

You can look at some nice eye candy.

As HL65 said, it's all about the paper work and the date of warranty.

You always should do your due diligence. Communication with Thanh Do and DSW is equally excellent. It never hurts to ask but I can say that I bought a BNIB ROO from Thanh Do and it's already been into APSC to have something fixed under warranty as well as having the 3rd year activated.

Didn't have one issue in regards to warranty status.
