Rolex Warranty
I've read conflicting stories on whether the 5 year factory warranty is transferable or is only valid for original owner. I don't have the original green warranty card, but was told the watch was bought new in April 2017 and has the remaining 5 year Rolex warranty. Does Rolex repair center check serial and warranty status? Any way they can verify the warranty status of my Rolex?Thanks!
