So... Is my name in the book?
I asked in a separate post whether I could register a pre-owned watch I had recently acquired, and the consensus was that I should be able to. Or if it had already been registered, they'd let me know that.
I got this response, both in email and as a physical letter. It only acknowledges that I am requesting to be added to the book, not that I have been. (Though it does say the watch has been registered.) It seems like this indicates that, but the wording is quite ambiguous. I was waiting to see if there would be a follow-up confirming that they've gone through the records and confirmed no one else had registered this, but it's been a month and this is the last I've heard on the matter. Has anyone else gone through this process?

But that might just be because of my weight
I agree with you, I initially thought it was clear, but in the end, I am wondering... The watch has been registered (fact), and you have all the numbers, whether your NAME was registered, is where the ambiguity lies, not guaranteed from what I can read !
It could be that the name of the initial owner is there and not yours ! I agree with your questioning...!
I'm not a native English speaker...
...and I find the wording a bit convoluted at best.
According to ChatGPT
On the other hand…. What if every new owner of a watch asks this? I don’t think they have the time to do this And how do they do it? They certainly won’t delete the original owners name So …. They put a Post-it over it ? 🤣🤣 Or do they start in a new book ...
Here is a photo of the book in question...
There is not much place for several owners' name to be registered here... ...
I know
That’s why I said a new book or an addendum cause they don’t have the space to write new owners between the lines Or they’ll will use Post-it ‘s 😀😀

I would ask to be sure.
This is the standard letter with the standard wording (in English language). I have several of them, but I bought my watches new, in the local Breguet Boutique. I was told that only the first owner can be entered in the archive (I rather trust the boutiqu...
