Famous name on warranty card

Was just wondering with all the watches that are being sold on the grey market has anyone ever purchased a watch with a famous name on the card? Have a great weekend everyone

Nope. It was a SS Offshore Rubberclad. Sold it 10+ years ago.

Well not famous but the unworn mint Daytona I bought from a grey had the name of the manager of an Rolex AD on its card!

Needless to say my confidence with the AD model has gone for a toss.

He’s a Yankees great for sure, that’s kind of neat Travis. Did you meet him for the transaction or realize it once you saw the card?
