My wife bought me a brand new Pam on 12/7/07 from a ad and I looked at the box,cards,etc because I was going to trade it in on a 338 and I noticed the the warranty card had the ad name on it but someone else's name and dated 3months early then she bought it she paid full retail and they only had new Pam's what do u think about this

I think maybe you should dig the receipt out and ask them why it doesn't match.. Did you ask your wife?

The sales receipt says 12/3/07 and the warranty card says 8/15/07 she bought it in december for sure, is that even legally for a panerai AD to do these.

find the original receipt, can't believe you waiting this long to look at the warranty card info.

Yes

I read your same question at another website.

TBH what do you expect a dealer to do about this now The warranty is long since expired and as long as you have, though still shouldn't need it, the original sales receipt, it's all pretty academic now. Even if the supplying dealer wanted to start over with a correctly dated warranty card, they can't as they don't have a pile of plastic cards to casually re-issue one retrospectively.

It does seem like it may have perhaps been presold but may never have left the shop. Perhaps the original intended buyer couldn't complete on the sale, credit card refused ??? but by then the warranty card had been completed. So while the dealer was perhaps wrong in holding back on telling you, to discover it sooooo long after you bought it means you can do nothng about it as far as i can see.

Question, does it really matter

Its true it really shouldn't matter at this point.. warranty long expired, and its not like they won't take it in on trade just because it has someone elses name on it.
