Blank warranty cards for sale - SCARY!

This stresses me out. Why do EBay allow this? Why don't Rolex take aggressive legal action? There is no legitimate reason that this can be for sale, is there? It is either fake (unlawful) or stolen (unlawful) or being leaked/sold by Rolex employees (unlawful)?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/x1-Classi...wAAOSw6PtcibNQ

It just goes to show that buying even with a warranty card means very little! Is there anything we can do to stop this?

Same like facebook, there are hundreds of posting each day, might possible ebay team miss one or two posts. You can always report the posting though.

Most likely fakes. You can flag it for copyright infringement.

I assume they’re not much use as a pairing with the latest watches as they are printed by AD but yes these things chip away at the box and papers principle. eBay don’t show much interest in reported fake items.

Several years ago I was hanging out with watch friends in Shanghai in a jewelry and watch store. With great pride, the owner was showing how they printed warranty papers for Patek Phillippe watches, including all other papers and also had the Patek wooden box etc. Scary.

Easy to fake and There's a market for it. Anyone without papers just buys this card and sells at full set. Which buyer is actually going to swipe and check...

This has just put the cherry on the cake for the scum of society who pinch and sell rolexes. Boxes and booklets are readily available on eBay but now you can buy a blank warranty card!!!!!! This has taken things to a whole new level.
