·I want this inquiry to be the end all/be all for this question with a definitive answer for the duration of this year going into next.
Firstly, I kindly, kindly ask that if you’ve never bought/received a replacement for any of these three cards, or at the very least inquired with an authorized dealer about if it were possible to obtain them. And they told you either, “yes, it’s possible,” or, “no, it’s not possible.” Please don’t reply. I’m sorry if that comes off as rude but I’m looking for hard answers, not what someone thinks/feels. What’s even ruder is someone trying to argue their opinion over on me.
I know there’s somebody out there dying to say too, “Aww man, I know you’re not trying to get an expired warranty thinking you can use it.” No, I’m not. Someone else, “I don’t see the value in buying these cards.” Well, I do. The reason I got my watch for such a great price is because it was missing them, but now I’d like to have them if it’s possible, because why not? It’s confirmation and an acknowledgement that the watch is authentic. I’m personally not looking to sell my watch, but knowing that I could increase the value of it if I ever needed to, I want to do it.
With all that said, I have an 1861 caliber, year 2000 Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch that I purchased with no box, no papers from a gray dealer in Tokyo. I have a one year warranty through that gray dealer and my sales receipt from them. But of course, that warranty has no power with Omega. But if I could show Omega I not only legally bought the watch by showing them my receipt, and if they themselves are willing to authenticate the watch (for a fee). I’m willing to pay to get these cards (all of them). Tags too, box too. Even if the warranty they give me is marked as “expired” it’s ok with me.
People on this forum as early as two years ago, and on watchuseek, and a couple of others have talked about this. But I want to put it to rest and know the absolute truth as it stands today in late 2021/early 2022, not use speculations from 2012, 2016, or 2019.
So what was said is that these things were sold for around these prices (in the UK):
£125-£150 Warranty (depends on the watch)
£50 Chronometer Certificate
£25 Pictogram Card
What else can I buy from Omega? Do they sell tags and boxes too? Let me know. Thank you all, and much appreciative to the ones who can legitimately answer.
