When you buy a watch from an authorized retailer you can help ensure you are getting a genuine watch with a valid manufacturer's warranty.
Non-authorized sources may claim to provide a warranty, however it will often not be honored by the manufacturer of the watch.
Many manufacturers will not honor warranties on merchandise purchased from non-authorized sources and may not supply parts to non-authorized repair centers.
Some watch manufacturers specifically warn consumers to avoid non-authorized sources, especially online. Most quality Swiss Watch brands do not authorize the sale of their merchandise online.
We have seen examples of all of the following watches purchased from online retailers or auction sites:
- Grey market watches that do not carry a manufacturer's warranty.
- Watches purchased from unauthorized retailers with serial numbers removed or defaced.
- Watches represented as new that have had replacement parts added.
- Watches sold online that are not genuine.
- Counterfeit watches that are either all or partly non-genuine
- Refurbished or used watches
- Watches illegally imported into the U.S.
