Theory on Gold Watch Co

[genomicstime]

These guys don't offer a warranty card but do offer the "same" five year warranty. Could it be that they just have the warranty cards for all the pieces they sell and just use that to offer their repairs? I'm sure there are freebies that they pocket or sell.

I've long thought other pre owned shops would do this, especially if they offer a 1 year warranty but you have to pay them for something three years later (but it's covered by the warranty and hence they print money just by shipping/middling).

Thoughts welcomed.

Warranty is probably through them only and theyll service it most likely in house and not from an official rolex service center

They do not offer the "same" Service Center warranty, they offer their own in-house warranty.

It's only as good as the people they employ.

Have to say.. if this is Dennis and Goldwatchco in Miami, he and his staff are top notch.. did a few deals with them and they were stellar

The odds of a new Rolex needing service in the first five years are low anyways. If you are getting a good price without papers then it's worth it.

Yes at that stage, if the price was right, I would just pay for the straight service through the RSC and then ride that service warranty. I'm relatively new here but my general thinking is that a few hundred dollars on a several thousand+ timepiece should not be quibbled over.

But it happens. Two of my wife's needed it three years in.

Some ADs offer a 5 year on top of the Rolex 5 year therefore becoming 10 years

Have heard this. Any examples in Florida? I am up in central FL.

Also trying to find an out-of-state AD, preferably someone who carries GS/Rolex/Tudor but JLC would be a good one too

Mayors, picked up a 126710 BLNR and 126710BLRO last month with 10 year warranty.
