Need help on purchasing a BNIB Daytona

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum. I'm about to buy a new Daytona 116500LN white dial with the Cerachrom bezel. Watch comes with box, papers, dated and named warranty card.

Does it really matter if the warranty card is already named? Does the 5 years warranty follows the watch or the buyer? I would hate to find out Rolex wont honor any warranty work if something happens to the watch. Your help is much appreciated. Also please give me some rules and tips, and things I need to look out for buying a watch here from a trusted seller.

Tommy

Warranty follows the watch and the golden rule on TRF is to "buy the seller over the watch."

There are several very trusted sellers in CA depending on where exactly you live.

FWIW I just bought my first Rolex from addy616. Great piece, great seller.

As above with anything expensive, buy the seller first!

Am I looking at the right ad? It's the one that is almost exactly 50% over MSRP.

OP, if the price works for you...go for it. That's quite a mark up.
