The Breitling Watch Source Forums

What's the deal with all these on Ebay. I thought they were watch specific by serial number.

They are, seller seems to have a few, initially I thought he'd split the watches, cards and boxes as seperate listings but I cant match any of the watches to any of the cards. Very strange. 3 US cards and a UK one too.

I assume every watch leaves the factory with one of these cards. Wonder if grey market buyers don't get the card with the watch or they do and cannot include them in a new sale. Thinking Costco or other re-sellers, and someone ends up with the cards. Who programs the cards?

The store I think, they are encoded with the retailer and the date of sale. I'd have thought grey market would come with a blank unregistered card.

Seems to spell it out here so you would think the Ebay pieces would have no real value.

Authorized dealers utilize a black generic warranty card to activate the warranty. They have a machine that reads the COSC certificate and transfers the Watch Info and AD info and date of purchase onto the warranty card.
