Last year I bought a new GMT 2 from an authorised dealer after being on a waiting list for a while. The dealer told me they would keep the warranty card for a year and then send it to me (apparently this is a policy to prevent people selling watches for a profit as soon as they get them). The year expired, so i asked for my warranty card and I was told it has been lost. Apparently Rolex refused to replace the warranty card so the dealer has given me 2 options, but I'm not sure which one to accept.
option a:
return the watch for a full refund.
option b:
keep the watch and the dealer will give me a 10 year warranty instead of the standard 5 (but the warranty will be with them not Rolex and there will be no warranty card) and the first service will be free.
As I regularly sell my watches to buy others, I will almost certainly want to sell this at some point, so should I take option a or b?
will the dealer 10 year warranty be worth more or less than the rolex warranty when I try to sell it?
