Congratulations on the new watch- but just a heads up- it's generally poor form to expose the warranty card's details (i.e., AD name, date of purchase, etc) if you've purchased the watch from a grey-market dealer.

Someone along the chain of ownership will likely get in trouble (i.e., the AD, and by extension, a source of your grey-market dealer).

Enjoy the Hulk!

Congratulations. It's a great watch. I paid £2K over MSRP for mine. I don't think I could justify today's grey prices but I understand your motivation and like me, I suspect you will never regret it.

Is it a bad thing if flippers and the AD that sold it to them get exposed?

Nah. I have no pity.

I'm simply putting my judgment aside and letting OP decide- I just wanted to draw attention to the consequence, since a handful of people do that erroneously.

Well let’s say I am from the Middle East and traveling to Europe where I get a Hulk because I am rich and a regular to an AD (not only watches but high valued Jewellery as well) so I don’t happen to like it after all because it’s freakin green so guess what??? I sell it right after I get home and someone else gets it... so what??? Let’s move on pls
