Sellers that Sell Authentic Watches but are not Authorized Sellers so your warranty comes from the Grey Market Seller e.g. Authenticwatches.com or Jomashop.com etc etc

The trusted sellers here are all grey market dealers.

That is a more difficult question...
Many have NIB w/ papers so you might.
Others might have no warranty or service at all.



I'll let more knowledgeable members add to the answer...

You can find NIB in this forum that comes with YOUR name as well as an AD name in the card.
