The watch came in new and unworn condition with outer and inner boxes, all stickers, hang tags, papers, polishing cloth, AND with stamped and dated warranty card from an AD located in the Middle East.
As a grey market dealer, Watchmaxx usually does not include the AD warranty card, but I requested if they could include it before ordering, and they were willing to include it for an additional $50. I thought it was worth it to have the full kit and factory warranty. Just one data point though. YMMV.

That's a good tidbit to store away.....
I wonder how they manage to pull that off?

The guy I talked to at Watchmaxx said he would put a note on the order for the shipping department to NOT pull the warranty card from my order. I assume like all grey market dealers, they source watches from ADs. I assume most all of those watches have warranty cards from whichever AD the watch is sourced from. I also assume they remove them before shipping to keep the manufacturers from finding out which ADs are selling to grey market sellers.
I don't know if they usually toss them in the trash or keep them on file in case the watch is returned to them for warranty work through Watchmaxx's own warranty, or what they usually do with the AD warranty cards. My IWC warranty card had the watch model and serial number printed on it and was dated about 2 months prior to my purchase date so I figured that's when Watchmaxx bought it from the IWC AD.

NAD, anyone know where to buy some spare collars for the SLA021J MM300? Seems like they should throw a bag of these in with every watch!
I do not remember the exact size and part number but you can order from essingler.

Interesting. It was always my understanding, that the reason why AD cards are not included on Gray market purchases, is because the dealers will pull the cars before they sell them. It was my understanding, the dealers don't want it the Brands to find out that they've been selling to Gray markets.

Would it be stupid of me to buy this one just for the strap and then sell it again at like $50 less? I've wanted this composite black/blue rubber/leather strap to go on my blue dial three hand Kontiki Date ever since I saw a picture if it on a white dial and a blue dial Date. I sold my bracelet when I first got my watch because it just didn't fit me well. I bought a solid black sailcloth strap, but this is the one I've always really wanted!
I would say go for it. That's a good combo for your three hand Kontiki. It's still a very good bargain for any potential buyer unless who is wanting the strap badly. I don't see you will get any difficulty in selling it. Just saying, I would definitely be interested in getting if I am not always try to stay away from chronos. I didn't notice that strap before you mentioning it. Now I want to have the strap for my blue Kontiki as well. Haha.

I wish I could find the picture. The blue and white "Dates" were actually sold on this exact strap at one point. Soon, I will have a picture, though, because, you guessed it I bought it! LOL!

To piggyback on Derek 80's post, watcheshalfprice on eBay also has the latest version of the Bulova Hack for $85 (refurbished). This was the "Macy's Exclusive" model.
Received my 96A219 today the watch was 100% new, not a mark on the watch!
Perfect size for my 7" wrist, now I want to see if the Precisionist or Accutron ii movements will fit or some type of mechanical movement and the watch would be perfect.

The Hi-Beat from Touch of Modern just arrived. It is in fact brown, but only in certain light.

I'm gonna give you $#!t because i think you'll take it in good spirits.
Bro, how did you manage to take a picture that makes a Grand Seiko look bad? That takes some talent!
Fact check: True
I just pulled it out of the box and was trying to figure out what color it was. Had to hold it up to the window. It actually looks better once the sun went down.
