Is the warranty from an AD worth the extra cost vs. grey market? How many needed it?

X2. I have purchased through both AD's and many grey market dealers over the last several years. I have had to do warranty work on 2 watches that were grey. One was blank, so I put my name. On the other, it was named. No matter either way, I just sent in the watch w/ the card and the work was completed.

Additionally, if your in either OC or SD, I can recommend highly reputable watchmakers w/ parts accounts that are not only reasonable, but I found through others here on the forum.

If your in LA, you can always just walk it into the RSC too!
