The Grey Market is not the used market. Any watch properly purchased from an AD will have a 5 year warranty, regardless how many times it is sold.

A new Grey Market watch was imported, bypassing the distributor, so the AD never sold these to a retail consumer. Grey Market products seldom have a valid warranty, such as those from Costco, Jomashop, Alan Furman, etc. .
