Rolex warranty

Has Rolex recently changed their warranty policy? It used to be that the watch was only warrantied to the original buyer.
A seller has told me:
"Your information is incorrect. Watch is under warranty no matter who's name is on the card. As long as it is AD stamped and dated, warranty is honored."
Hopefully this is true, the way we "WIS's" move watches around.

The warranty follows the watch for two years, not the owner. The seller is correct.

Now if Ball would do the same I'd be a Happy Camper.

Yup seller is correct. Now if they would just extend warranties again from 2 to 4 years.

Although how many times have you needed to use warranty in your life time? Easy answer for me ZERO.

As has been said, a valid warranty is a valid warranty.

However, there are probably more than a few out there that have been filled in by less than honest sellers and may not be valid..

Unfortunately, you won't know until you need it..
