The AD would have the sales information on the watch, and it would be easy to find out the true date of when it was first sold. I think this would be where the warranty would start when it is in doubt

This is all theoretical, I might add - it's not a situation I've had to deal with before. If the warranty is a deal maker/breaker, then the best way to be 100% is to get the watch from an AD - that's the tradeoff you have when you buy from a third party

I totally agree with you Chris.
