Without the card, technically a RSC could refuse warranty work. Whether they would, is another matter altogether and you could just say you'd lost the card, as the date of warranty activation should be known to Rolex

Time will tell

No they will not refuse warranty if you turn up with the watch and its verified as not stolen. I have spoken to Rolex specifically about this. Nor does it matter whos name is on the card. If there is a genuine warranty issue then Roilex will honour it.
It is the secondary market, the owners, the buyers who are placing huge emphasis on the warranty card and its value. From a functional point of view it is meaningless.
