I would submit to you that there are far more warranties that are non transferrable, or tansferrable for a fee, than not. Regardless of the product not just in the watch industry. IWC and Omega that I know of do not honor warranties of anyone but the original buyer. Does that make these companies any less reputable? The only thing I see O7 as doing wrong regarding their warranty is that if the previous poster is accurate they changed their policy mid stream. Short of that I see nothing wrong in giving the original buyer the one that actually contributed to the companies coffers preferential treatment regarding warranties. Just my opinion.

I could be wrong but being the owner of two omegas....my AD did not fill in the warrenty cards and these are considered open....therefore, if I sell this watch to someone they can fill in the info and they will have the warrenty....At least that's what they say on the sales forums.....

Then we will agree to disagree as I see you belong to the school of "everybody else is doing it so it must be right", but let's not pretend it's because the manufacturer hasn't made a profit on the product and been paid for the full warranty period. I belong to the school of "If it's wrong, it's wrong...regardless of who is (and how many are) doing it"! Like my mother used to say, "Just because everybody else is rioting in the streets doesn't make it right"!

Well I think Croton watches has the right idea. If the watch maker believes in the product they make and sell the warrenty given should cover the issues covered by the warrenty for life. :cool:

I bought an O7 G-1 after I noticed the similarity between it and the Steinhart/Debaufre GMT watches. It is a nice watch, though the micro adjustment on the bracelet is useless because of the diver's extension. As a result I rarely wear it because I just can't get a good fit on my wrist. I know I could put it on a strap (and I have a spare Hirsch Trieste for it), but it just looks right on the bracelet. BTW, back when I was in to Accutrons, Mitch tossed me off the Yahoo Accutron group he moderated because of a post I made looking for a guy who had one of mine for repair and then wouldn't answer emails/telephone calls. That pretty much turned me off original hummers and vintage watches in general. Unless I could get a mint Deep Sea that needs no work... :D Cheers, Griff Oh yeah, I did get the Accutron back, untouched, after nearly a year...

oh well, I've never had an issue with O7 or Mitch, and I have 3 of his products, but judging from the posts quite a few people here have had issues.Hmmm, a shame really as some of his offerings are quite nice. Oh well to each his own.

Oh well to each his own. If you buy watches enough or become a collector your going to see good and bad and inbetween along the way and you will see all sides from everyone. Like with everything else in life no two see things the same or have the same good or bad situations. When it comes down to it you have to decide on what is good or bad for you whether it be watches or the best place to go out for lunch. ;)
