Why you should avoid Grey Market Retailers

There is an old adage that states – if something is too good to be true, it usually is.

This is something that is very applicable to the watch industry, due to an influx of what are commonly referred to as Grey Market Sellers.

The following active online sellers are considered by WatchNation to be Grey Market Sellers and are not recognised by Orient:

JomaShop

CreationWatches

City Watches UK

WatchesZon

Best Quality Watches

E-Global Central

WatchNation will not price match against any Grey Market Seller.

Exclusive 2-Year Warranty

When you purchase an Orient watch from WatchNation, not only do you receive the brand’s standard 1-year manufacturer warranty, but we also provide an extra 1-year warranty on top of that—absolutely free! That’s a total of two years of peace of mind, ensuring your watch is covered for repairs and replacements according to Orient’s official policy.

Enjoy peace of mind knowing your Orient watch is covered by a valid manufacturer warranty. This warranty ensures repairs and replacements are covered according to Orient’s policy, guaranteeing a higher level of protection for your investment. Orient manufacturer warranties typically cover defects in materials and workmanship for a specified period after purchase. This means that if your watch malfunctions due to a manufacturing defect, Orient will repair or replace it free of charge.

Risks of Grey Market Sellers

Grey market sellers often provide limited or third-party warranties that may not offer the same comprehensive coverage as an Orient manufacturer’s warranty. Here’s why you should be cautious:

Limited Coverage: Third-party warranties may only cover certain components of your Orient watch, or they may have exclusions for specific types of damage.

Authorisation Issues: Repairs under a third-party warranty may not be authorised by Orient, potentially voiding the manufacturer’s warranty altogether.

Customer Service Challenges: Getting repairs or replacements under a third-party warranty can be a hassle, especially if the warranty company is located in a different country.

Benefits of Buying from WatchNation

By purchasing your Orient watch from an authorised retailer like WatchNation, you can be confident that your watch is genuine and comes with a valid manufacturer warranty. WatchNation, as an authorised Orient retailer, provides exceptional customer service, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience should you require any assistance with your Orient watch. Since WatchNation is authorised by Orient, any repairs or replacements under the warranty will be handled efficiently and without complications.
