: Hi Keith, It appears that section (c) nullifies
: everything that precedes it regarding
: watches w/o serials as those numbers were
: removed by the authorized agents of the
: manufacturer.
BUT, those dealers are not authorized to remove serial numbers or resell the watches to non-autorized agents! So your assertion that that makes this right is not supportable. The act of violating the contract means that the dealer is NOT acting as an authorized agent in removing the serial number or selling the watches to an Internet dealer.
I doubt any judge would rule that frequent violations of authorized dealer contracts counts as an 'customary' action of an 'authorized agent.' If they are doing something that they were not authorized to do--then they are not an 'authorized agent' in this context!
: but never has anyone produced proof of a
: prosecution for possession of a watch purchased
: from an internet dealer which lacked a serial
: number.
True, but just because the law is not enforced does not make the action right. I would hope that rape, murder, assult and other such crimes still have higher priority in enforcement than the misandling of luxury wristwatches.
Similarly, just because Omega does not know a particular authorized dealer has violated their contract does not make those violating actions right, condoned by the manufacturer, or the actions of an 'authorzed agent.'
