Rolex Warranty/Trusted Seller Question

Good evening Gents.

So I've perused the forums for well over 10 hours, compiling (what I hope to be) all the knowledge necessary for my first Rolex purchase. This is a fantastic website with a wealth of knowledge! Was definitely informative to say the least. After all my research, I still am uncertain about a particular subject, which I'm hoping you all can help me with.

Let's say I were to purchase from a Trusted Seller here. Firstly, I'm under the impression that to ensure you wouldn't need a 'proof of purchase' (if warranty work was needed), it would be wise to only get a watch that was from a stateside AD. Check. However this brings me to my point of confusion. I see from a couple Trusted Sellers......the watch is brand new, with a blank warranty card. How is this possible that I can receive it blank and fill in my own name? I thought it was a requirement of Rolex for all Dealers to complete this card in full and have photographed documentation of it? This would seem to me like it's a Grey Market watch and not from an AD.

Any help would be appreciated here! Honestly, even with VAT/discounts, loophole this or that.......it's just about the same price + MUCH simpler to just purchase from a Trusted Seller (as long as somebody can clarify on the above). I just need to be certain that everything would be legitimate as I don't want to purchase such a high price item then perhaps have to fork over more money in 3 years due to warranty issues.

Thanks in advance!

*Oh and in case you guys were wondering, have my eyes on the 116600. Ever since it was released I had slowly started putting back for it. Excited beyond belief the time has almost come
