'new' warranty cards + question
I'm looking to acquire a pre-owned from a seller in EU.he's sent me all photos of the card and papers, and i noticed the warranty card does not have the AD stamp or date.he's telling the 'new' cards now require electronic (online) registration, and no longer have stamping by ADs.the watch, card and books all have consistent serial# stamps.can anyone verify if this is true?I'm just wondering how does AP verify purchase date (and therefore warranty expiration) if there's no paper trail (assuming no printed receipt from AD)?lastly, anyone know if JB Jewelers in Israel and UK is an AP AD?tks!

116618LB vs 228235
116618LB (YG Sub with blue dial)228235 (Rose gold DD with olive dial)I'm debating between these two very different PM watches. I have tried them both on and like them equally, so I am trying to think of pros and cons. Whichever one I purchase it will be used. Not paying new prices. And most likely going the TS route.Any thoughts or feedback on how I can separate one from the other in choosing?Does one have a much stronger chance of holding value in 5-10 years than the other?
