It is the secondary market, the owners, the buyers who are placing huge emphasis on the warranty card and its value. From a functional point of view it is meaningless.
This is the problem. If the name doesn't matter then a flipped to buyer can claim on the warranty and it has no deterrent effect. The same with the sticker policy, it's so weak. Rolex are just not smart business people and very slow to adapt, good at making watches but just observing victims in this changing market.
