That would clearly get on my nerves if I was told "we sell you the watch but will give you the paperwork in XXXX years" WTF?????

I disagree!
Possibly I'm in the minority in taking this view but this policy (which they are enforcing) is aimed at supporting the 'true' customer and removing the speculator. The pieces this process applies to are in huge demand, can sell for large premiums and the only people who will loose with this policy are the guys who are simply out to make money and will now be deterred (hopefully). How is to anyone's advantage for a unobtainable watch to show up on Chrono24 unworn and still fully sealed at a massive markup. These pieces deserve to be worn by watch lovers purchased at retail. I waited 8 years to get my piece and went through 2 vetting interviews. Anything to reduce the number of unworn rare pieces gets my vote.
