Re: Leica M9-P Chrome/Silver - LNIB
Let me share my Leica warranty experience as well:
- M8 bought online at fredmiranda.com (US unit), I called solms and they told me that ownership and warranty was transferable to me. I emailed them the picture with a local newspaper at the background showing the current date of the paper (date when i requested the transfer) and the serial number of the camera to prove that i have the camera in my possession. Pictures of the warranty card and the rest of the paper works. They transferred the ownership to me. Thats what the next owner of the M8 did, transferring the ownership and warranty from me to him.
- M9 - i did the same with the M9 which i bought from ebay from somebody in Canada. The ownership and warranty are already transferred in my name with the same procedure. I called Leica Solms though before i closed the deal with the previous owner to make sure that the warranty and the ownership was transferrable to my name and they said yes. And they also gave me the assurance that it was registered to the sellers name as well.
I haven't claimed any warranty of any of my camera though to prove that indeed the warranty was transferred to my name. But when I called Leica Hong Kong, they can see it in their system that indeed the serial number of the camera matched to that of my ownership details. I will know if the warranty can really be claimed when i have my camera checked and calibrated in HK. And mind you, i'm in the Philippines. Oliver in Leica Solms did everything for me with no hassle at all.
