Agreed. Depending on the seller, I'll take the 3k, otherwise the warranty is a must.

The warranty isn’t worth the 3k to me. What are the odds you’ll actually need to send it in for warranty work? Pretty slim.

I wish there was a stat sheet somewhere stating the percentage of Rolexes needing service within the 5 year warranty period...pipe dream, of course!

Not worth 3k to me. If there is an issue pay the service and still save 2k.

How do you know card was not swiped? So are you saying there is no AD and the card is not filled out?

If you trust the seller I would gamble to save the money.

I have never once used a Rolex warranty in 30 years of wearing Rolex. So for me if you like the deal and trust the seller, the 3K in savings is the way to go.

It is odd that the card was not swiped though. I have bought BNIB from sellers here and the card was always swiped. Odd

They absolutely can if you’re a good customer. If you walk in off the street then probably not.
