The substitution of components with, or the addition of, components or accessories not manufactured by Rolex will invalidate the guarantee. The guarantee is valid only if (1) the watch has been sold by an Official Rolex Jeweler; (2) the guarantee card has been completed in full by the Official Rolex Jeweler at the time of purchase; and (3) the guarantee card is presented with the watch, either to an Official Rolex Jeweler or to an Official Rolex Service Centre.
