Rolex Warranty paper- complete set?

[mrwhite]

Hello TRF,

I just purchased a 14060M, complete set. Unfortunately, the previous owner misplaced the 'Garantie' Paper:



Is it possible to contact Rolex via your AD to get the papers? All I have is the receipt from the AD where it was bought from in 2000.

Thanks guys

Rolex doesn`t reissue "Papers".

Sounds like you didn't get a "complete set" if you are missing the warranty papers?
Rolex will not reissue. Once they are gone, they are gone.

It's just a piece of paper and if the watch is out of warranty, it's not worth anything. When you send it in for service at RSC, you'll get a new warranty card.

The so called Rolex papers = a warranty paper just like many other warranty papers you get with stuff like say a fridge or TV.As the one for your watch was only valid at the time for 12 months then its well expired and just a bit of paper.If you have no service history with the watch it should be serviced, and then you will get RSC papers, with all the watch details and that paper will be a current two year warranty.

Bought in 2000, don't sweat the papers as they have long since became worthless at least from a warranty aspect.

However, you did not get a "complete set"..................

Bought a '64 . . . .
No warranty anymore :-(
But she runs as good as my other :-)

Don't worry and have a good night rest.

She'll be fine

The watch is 12 years old. Those papers are worthless. Add nothing to the watch. Enjoy your Rolex. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Thanks guys and I guess you are right! :D Not a "complete set". Love that forum

Papers only really add value on vintage sets since, back in the day, Rolex's were not that expensive (relatively) and the papers had no known value and therefore were rarely kept.

However, jump forward 30 or 40 years ...... and because vintage Rolex's with a complete set of paperwork are quite difficult to come by and do sell for a premium (often 15% - 20% more than a loose watch) everybody keeps all the paper work and boxes, sales receipts etc on their new watches.

Therefore by default, the paperwork everybody is now keeping and storing safely will have little or no extra value in 10, 20 or 30 years time.

If it aint rare, it aint valuable........

Although it clearly does help to flip a watch quicker than one without all the goodies...... probably because people are falsely attaching future value to them.....
