I see, ADs are fickle at times. My first go at it I got the watch I wanted then nothing else after that. Unresponsive

Doesnt safe sale mean that you can't register the watch onto your personal AP account until 1 year of the original purchase date?

I would assume that there would be warranty cards and what not but you would agree not to register the watch until a later date, to avoid having the original buyer from being blacklisted from the dealer.

Could be gentleman's agreement, could be the dealer keeping the card. Could also be more than 1 year.

The chances of using "gentleman's agreement" for a safe sale is almost nil, I believe. The seller have everything to lose when they sell at a lower than market price and almost certainly gets played out. Every buyer will want to register the watch to their profile as long as they have the warranty card on hand.

At least one guy on Reddit was swearing up and down that he would never break his gentleman's agreement with a grey dealer. So this exists (to the extent that anything on Reddit is real).

He must be one of the rare ones, provided his words are to be trusted. Gentleman's agreement normally only works between friends.

Is this true? Does every buyer register the watch immediately? Or is there a chance they won't?
