Open Warranty Card

[Kobayashi]

From time to time there will be some watches for sale with an open warranty. The ad will state the new buyer will have their name listed on the papers. For a recent watch (within the last two years) I could understand this. I've seen some ads for watches with a potential manufacturing date from 5 - 10 years ago still have an open warranty. Is this common? And would these watches tend to be BNIB? Thanks!

Open papers are meaningless outside of warranty.

How could you tell the manufacturing date was 5-10 years old and its very very doubtful if any BNIB watch is 5-10 years old.And if any watch if bought from a AD if bought as new no matter what the serial it will have a full two year warranty.And unless the warrranty is stamped by a official AD there is no warranty, and don't matter what ever name is on the warranty

Very true. I think you pretty much answered my concerns. Thanks for the input!
