Jomashop

I bought a B&R on joma shop it arrived in the mail today with no authenticity card. Strange?

Probably should return it, no?

Jonas offers their own warrantee. That is why they are cheaper than an AD.

Doesn't the card "prove"/ show it's authentic? I think in missing something here. Don't all new watches come with this card?

What you're missing is what others have told you in this thread. They are not an AD. The typically do not give the customer the factory warranty card because you do not get the factory warranty. The card doesn't necessarily "prove" authenticity.

That being said, I have never purchased a watch from them, but I would not expect their watches to be questionable. If you like the watch and the price you paid, keep it and enjoy. Post some pics.

Rebel-

Thanks for the reply. I didn't know that the AD handed out the cards/gave the cards I thought that a card (even with no warranty) automatically came with the watch regardless if the AD would honor the warranty or not.

Kinda feels like I'm missing a piece of the package, I guess I have to see if that missing card makes up for the savings I got.

If you are going to keep the watch the warranty card is less important. If you plan on selling the watch or flipping it to another dealer the card is worth a portion of the value of the watch. Joma Shop has some good prices but I do not buy modern watches without the warranty card. Nothing against Bell & Ross but the second hand value is poor to start with and a incomplete package will only work against you. Most of the Trusted Sellers here don't deal in Bell & Ross and will not take them on trade. Unless you just love the watch and the price I would return it while I could and get a refund. If you still want a Bell & Ross find a complete one.

I really like the watch, I highly doubt I would ever flip it, but I would like a complete "package".
