What does Grey Market mean?
The grey market is a market where a wholesaler is supplying original watches to watch shops that are not necessarily authorized dealers. The only difference is, that the watches will come without the blue Seiko Warranty booklet and the Warranty Certificate (paper card, normally found in pocket at the last page of the Seiko Warranty booklet). Since I trust the quality control of Seiko and since I have never heard of a Seiko Monster yet another watch with the reliable Caliber 7S26 having troubles, I decided to add those 10 grey market Monsters to my site.

What if the Grey Market Orange Monster needs repair or service?
Theoretically Authorized Seiko Repair centers refuse (that is the official Seiko text) to repair those watches. Practically they cannot refuse your original Seiko watch, because you could simply tell them that your received this watch as a gift or you could tell them, that your partner threw the manual and warranty card into the trash bin during spring cleaning.

Is it legal to buy Grey Market watches?
Of course it is legal. The grey market is nothing else then a free floating market bypassing some middle men and distributors thus offering better prices. Those are original products, they are simply not sold through an authorized dealer. Because of new distribution channels like the internet, the grey market's volume will continue to grow.

What extra precautions does PMWF take to protect its customers
We checked all grey market Monsters extra carefully for eventual defects. And this after our supplier had checked them already. As with all the watches sold on PMWC, we check the dial, the alignment of the hands, the date change and all the surfaces of the watch. The watches come with original factory wrappings and we have learned to trust SEIKO's quality management. We have never found a watch with a defect!
