I'm looking at buying a SMP. Both do not have the original warranty card with serial number but both sellers claim to have had them serviced within the past 4yrs or so. One seller only has a paperwork and another seller has a new card from Omega. I asked the seller with only the paperwork and they're claiming that Omega does not issue a new card that they only give out a paper receipt showing a service was done.

I know when you send a Rolex off for service they include a new warranty card with the serial number on it...does Omega do the same thing?

 

If you send a watch to Omega for a service now, you no longer get a plastic card, you get a paper invoice/receipt as proof of service.

They haven't issued plastic cards as proof of service for several years.

Edit: For clarity, I'm talking from a UK perspective.

 

When you send it in to Omega, you’ll get the receipt plus a piece of cardboard with the pressure test results, the average timing rate, service number and the initials of the watchmaker.

 

I can confirm with 100% certainty that the plastic warranty cards are still being given on services performed at OMEGA in Switzerland.

 

I wish they did that in the US

 

Thanks for the help everyone. The one with the card was from Europe (sold to a US buyer) and the one with the paper was a US watch so that explains it.

After doing some more thinking I've decided to buy a PO instead, a 2201.50 with a calibre 2500D but it's hard finding one!! I found a few nice Cs but after reading some posts on here and WUS I just don't trust them. I read even after replacing the gold wheel with a silver wheel there's still the issue of the black residue.

So I guess the search continues....thanks again for the help!!
