Gray Market Rolex

[Gpardo]

I recently purchased a Rolex online that has the serial number but does not have the authentication card. I don't care about the warranty with Rolex since the place where I bought it gives me 5 years. I want to know is of one day I want to sell it how much would I loose since I don't have the papers?

Most important, is the watch!

The original warranty papers really have no value after the 2 year expiration, but it does seem to add a minor monetary value to the disconcerting collector wanting a full set.....

The watch is what is matters....

This is good to know and a common though here on TRF I've noticed.

Said it best. A great condition watch will sell. There is a market for all in the world of Rolex.

There is no such thing as an "Authentication Card"..

As to losing, you already bought at an on-line discount... If you sell it for what you bought it for, you won't lose anything (nor would it be loose either)
