. . . your Warranty Card and Statement of Value for 30 days after purchase?

If so, any idea why?

swils8610 · 9 January 2016, 10:55 AM

Nope.

Rolex57 · 9 January 2016, 10:56 AM

No way. I'd go back to the AD and yell "WTF" to him/her.

superdog · 9 January 2016, 10:57 AM

Never.

NCD1979 · 9 January 2016, 11:03 AM

Absolutely NOT.

beshannon · 9 January 2016, 11:04 AM

No, they put it in the box and said thank you!

Old Expat Beast · 9 January 2016, 11:08 AM

Some do. Not a big deal. It's in case you want to return it, I believe.

Flstfirider · 9 January 2016, 11:10 AM

No, and if I was aware of a policy like this I would shop else where.

cop414 · 9 January 2016, 11:13 AM

I've heard of this, mine doesn't.

HL65 · 9 January 2016, 11:25 AM

Never here.

ltmgeller · 9 January 2016, 12:05 PM

I've heard this before. Not that big a deal.

Patton250 · 9 January 2016, 12:26 PM

No.

outtatime · 9 January 2016, 12:27 PM

I would never let an AD keep anything of mine if I'd just purchased it.

This............

diocletian · 9 January 2016, 12:36 PM

Why is it some AD's do things like this. I can't imagine paying for my watch and leaving these things behind... Some act as if they're doing us a favor for spending $10k plus on a watch.

If they did I'd buy elsewhere.

Correct, however they should make you aware by at least asking whether you want the warranty activated right away or not.
Both times I purchased new I was very specifically and politely asked.

Bluside · 9 January 2016, 01:00 PM

When I bought my OP 39mm my AD said I would get the card in the mail after 30 days. They have a 10 day refund and 30 day exchange policy. Made sense to me.

However, when I bought my BLNR, I got the warranty card and everything right then. I had the BLNR on order for 3 weeks and they ended up shipping the the watch from another store for me. I don't know if that made a difference or not.

kilyung · 9 January 2016, 01:01 PM

Some do in case of returns. So they won't fill out the card until they send it to you 30 days later. Otherwise it's a big issue for them to get a new card for a returned piece.

Personally I will not buy from such an AD.

Old Geezer · 9 January 2016, 01:06 PM

Never had an AD keep mine.

I agree. It's not all bad. It suggests they are leaving the door open for you to change your mind about your purchase.

JLM3 · 9 January 2016, 01:24 PM

My AD only keeps the card if the watch is a gift for the return or exchange policy but if the watch is sized or you wear it out they fill out the warranty card and you take it with you.

When put like this, it's no big deal. If my two ADs introduced this policy then I couldn't get bent out of shape over it. However, I wouldn't buy from a new (to me) AD that had this policy.

Jfullm42 · 9 January 2016, 03:40 PM

Nope

Wooster · 9 January 2016, 04:16 PM

Definitely No.
