AD Still withholding Warranty card

[jrox]

Thanks to flippers I have access to watches I would not otherwise have

I do not believe that AD’s forcing you to sign a contract stating what you can or cannot do with your property is legal.

I will not deal with an AD that forces me to do down this route.

Something starting to sound a bit odd here.

Forcing how? Blackmail? Gun to your head?

The AD can either sell something to you or not. It's at their discretion. You can either buy something from this AD or take your business elsewhere. It's at your discretion.

Who is the AD?

Are you planning to keep the Daytona?

I mean if your wearing the watch why worry? Take a video/pictures of the cards for your records & also get it in writhing if anything happens to the AD they would be personally & financially responsible to compensate you. If they have terms make your own on their contract as well

They offered me two models i said id take both was not aware they would only sell me one, i didnt know it was a choice untill i said id take them both.Again there policy not to sell 2 watches of the same model in a set time etc fair enough.They offer me watches all the time even drop them round the house it was only later the next day i asked re the card.

I’m like you, Christian, haven’t sold any watch. The only time they kept my card was once in 2019 - never before or since. Is it a single AD or part of a group/chain? It’s strange that they’re still doing this - that AD must have not received the memo from head office!

Its a single AD they may have 2 stores but not goldsmiths etc.

That’s interesting. I think the large AD groups have stopped that practice

Recently purchased my 3rd rolex a rootbeer and was given a photocopy of my warranty card which they will keep the original on file for 24 months then will be given the original once that time period is up. AD said its to prevent flippers, new mandate from corporate.

Seems more a slur on the purchaser's reputation, from the AD, than anything else. To then read they drop watches round the purchasers house makes it even more odd.

I wouldn't be happy, but may live with the situation, if it was a new relationship. If i was a long-standing customer i would be somewhat offended, if truth be told.

Why slight my character, if you have had a long term relationship with me? Seems a bizarre move, in all honesty.

This was my point very weird, truth be told it wasent really the watch i was after but either way very strange considering past history.They shone there light on me for a few seconds i suppose they thought i should of just been happy handing over £1000s cant be bothered with it worse than Porsche and GT

Outcome?
Mind changed and watch purchased?
Or was it sold over the past few days of these posts?
I'd have jumped on any MSRP deal like white on rice.

Then go show the AD that has the warranty card the need to send it in and ask them to give you the card.
