I'm looking to acquire a pre-owned from a seller in EU.
he's sent me all photos of the card and papers, and i noticed the warranty card does not have the AD stamp or date.

he's telling the 'new' cards now require electronic (online) registration, and no longer have stamping by ADs.
the watch, card and books all have consistent serial# stamps.

can anyone verify if this is true?
I'm just wondering how does AP verify purchase date (and therefore warranty expiration) if there's no paper trail (assuming no printed receipt from AD)?

lastly, anyone know if JB Jewelers in Israel and UK is an AP AD?

tks!
