I have JM and they told me this very thing when I called them regarding getting ready to sell my Navitimer. They said it was technically a voluntary parting but that “they sometimes take other things into account to come to a fair resolution” or something like that….basically implying that if the watch were lost in shipment they still might cover it. I pressed the agent on this…..basically saying it either has to be covered or not covered and how it’s possible for them to decide after the fact. Who is going to ship a watch on the assurance that “maybe” we will decide to cover it’s loss as a goodwill gesture. Needless to say, I sent it USPS registered.
