·Last week I bought a nice condition Speedmaster Racing. i figured i would give the Speedmaster line another chance after my short lived ownership of a Speedy Pro. (fat fingers plus crown guard kept me from easily winding it so I sold it and bought that Dominos Pizza Rolex from this forum)
The watch came from Topper Jewelers (like my Speedy Pro) and came with a 1 year Topper Warranty. It also comes with a good amount of the original warranty as it was originally purchased in 2019.
The warranty card was stamped by Govberg's. However instead of the card having the serial and reference numbers being printed (stamped) on the card, the card had the numbers filled in with a marker.
(Now before some folks jump in and try to state there is trickery involved and that these are fake cards because Omega stamps the numbers (like I read in some older threads), the watch came from Topper's pre owned collection where they would have verified the info and I also contacted Govberg and asked them about it. They confirmed the watch in question was sold new by them. They also explained it was one of the last of that model that they were sent and that the warranty card went missing so they filled out a blank one and stamped it. So this card is legit)
My question is will adding tape to the card void the warranty because it falls under making a change to the card? The reason i want to do this is because the marker is starting to smudge on the date area and I figure tape will preserve it (You have to do this on Casio G-Shock cards because they all smudge)
Or does it even matter as long as they can read the serial number? and that Omega can simply run the serial number and check the AD(Govberg) and be able to verify the date the warranty starts and ends?
This watch is very nice and wears well on my wrist. I have the feeling I am going to have this watch for a good while
Here is a pic of the card with the serial number MS Paint blurred
Thanks
