But its possible they use a second hand watch polish it till it looks new and than put in a box and a fake cert and tell you is brand new watch from grey market overseas?

Next time when something happens you bring to service centre they tell you this warranty card is fake and not valid

scared don't buy, buy don't scared.

There's a reason why ADs and grey sellers co-exist. Each got their own customer segment.

Anybody bought watches from brightime by championtime before?

They sell pre-owned and brand new watches.

They are greay market dealers can buy in brand new rolex, cartier and omega watches from overseas and sell about 30% cheaper than sg retail price.

Anybody bought from them their brand new watches before?

I scare it could be second hand watches that they polish until look brand new put into a box and fake cert n sell as brand new, or worst maybe is fake watches that they selling

Got polish or never can see one lol.
Why would they go so much trouble to earn a couple of hundred bucks. If they do this and kena find out. Don't you think their reputation will be destroyed?
Reputation > profit in a long run.
Once kena one case. Can go die liao

Scarly Later he ask:
"Then will AD bring in 2nd hand watches... polish them to look like new and then Re package them to look BNIB and sell at RRP?"

Basically it's simple.
Wanna save money, buy pre own.
scared will tio carrot.. buy from AD.
scared AD cheat you... fly to Switzerland and buy from the watch company directly.
