You are completely right, of course.

I guess what I was getting at was that just taking that printed statement at face value may result in the consumer having different expectations from what actually happens.

As you pointed out, the Rolex statement is necessarily generic and as such I found it ambiguous (akin to smoke and mirrors as directioneng said!). The absolute recourse a consumer would have is again, as you correctly mentioned, spelled out in the laws of the individual country.
