6 Watch Store Contract Gotchas
- Authenticity Disclaimers: HIGH Gray market sellers may disclaim authenticity verification. "Genuine" doesn't always mean authorized dealer
- Warranty Voiding: HIGH Opening case back voids warranty. Independent service may void manufacturer coverage
- No Manufacturer Warranty: HIGH Gray market watches often lack official manufacturer warranty. Seller warranty may be limited
- Restocking Fees: MEDIUM Returns on luxury watches may incur 10-25% restocking fees. Expensive to change your mind
- Price Adjustment Exclusion: MEDIUM No price matching or adjustments after purchase. Price drops don't benefit you
- Condition Disputes: MEDIUM "Pre-owned" condition grades vary widely. Scratches and wear are subjective
