| Post subject: | New Navitimer and question |
Recently purchased a Navitimer 01 (43mm) online; couldn't resist! Been waiting a long time for a Navitimer, have always loved the blue/white face. I bought it gray market as the price was quite good. Came with attestation attestation cert, instructions, limited edition cert (matches the watch), slide rule instructions and slide rule cared ( hang tags missing, don't care). The warranty book is stamped and the certificate has a punch out for (serial number matches the watch) and warranty is not dated. ( don't know why I can't add the pic) Is this a valid warranty? The super ocean II we just purchased had an electronic warranty card and this one does not have the electronic card. It's gray market and I got it at a good price, so I wasn't expecting a warranty. However, it would be a bonus if it did have one! |

Well you're exposing the AD who sold to the grey market which they likely won't be thrilled about, especially as Breitling monitor the forum. Technically an undated warranty is not valid though some dealers think they are doing the customer 'a favour' by leaving it blank in case of issues a few months out of warranty - you just date it yourself with a later date. Breitling have refused coverage on such pieces in the past (and would be in their rights to do so). If the dealer stamp is on the book you could likely make it appear valid by dating. If it has a warranty book it is presumably an older piece that predates the electronic warranty. |
