Rolex warranty card no good?

If your cards are stamped, your warranty is active. Truth be told one could actually add a date after the fact to the card, and the AD would be the one getting in trouble by Rolex if the date wasn't accurate. For that reason, I'd find it highly unlikely any AD would risk letting a watch leave their store with incomplete paperwork. The serials would track back to the AD's inventory through Rolex and the store would risk their AD status.

What you purchased were likely, technically pre-owned watches from resellers, considering the cards and how they were completed. Grey dealers would officially be those that sell stock as new with unactivated warranties (think blank warranty cards, perhaps watches coming from other regions that are then distributed in a different region without license/AD Status).

The good thing is we're unlikely to need warranties as often with Rolex vs other brands

Thanks 904! I feel better now.
