Took it into Rolex Australia. Once they saw the guarantee and that I had obtained is effectively 'second hand' they had no problem and said I could use the warranty for the balance of the 2 year warranty period.

cool! i think the rule in the USA goes something like this: if the warranty is 'open' you mayget the warranty coverage, unless they check with the AD to find out who the original buyer was...if they do, i think you might not get coverage.

you don't need to transfer the warranty on a second hand rolex. just authorize the repairs in the original owners name with your address. they have no idea if you are the original owner or not. he could have moved in with you because he got divorced and needed a place to stay for all they know. people move all the time so the original address means nothing at all. they aren't using a retina scan or dna to make sure you are who you say you are.
