Advertisement Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Hi glenerrolrd, Take a look here Leica M warranties. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
BBHewee Posted January 20, 2017 Share #2 Posted January 20, 2017 Yes and yes. They're even transferrable globally. All you need is the original purchase invoice, even if not in your name, from an authorised Leica dealer, or the warranty booklet properly stamped.

jaapv Posted January 29, 2017 Share #3 Posted January 29, 2017 Not in the USA; the local warranty does not transfer to the second owner. The international warranty will be valid, but must be handled through Wetzlar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronazle Posted January 29, 2017 Share #4 Posted January 29, 2017 Not in the USA; the local warranty does not transfer to the second owner. The international warranty will be valid, but must be handled through Wetzlar. Interesting. Does that mean the owner must send the item to Wetzler or will Leica USA do it acting as the owner's agent? If the repair is locally "do able" one would think it is in Wetzer's best interest to allow the repair to be accomplished in New Jersey. Do you know why this situation exitsts?

BBHewee Posted January 30, 2017 Share #5 Posted January 30, 2017 JaapV, I had a different experience with my M240 bought second-hand from a reputable NY dealer. Leica USA was happy to deal with the repairs, and so was Wetzlar actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 30, 2017 Share #6 Posted January 30, 2017 I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but it has been a recurring topic in this forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulus Posted January 30, 2017 Share #7 Posted January 30, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Isn't this the difference between: Warranty ( Garanty ) and Gewährleistung according to German law? Meaning that warranty is for new items and Leica is obliged to repair and " gewährleistung " , the warranty a dealer gives on a used item, saying: " It's good stuf, I guaranty any repair if nessesary. " The repair could than be made by any local Leica repair facility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 30, 2017 Share #8 Posted January 30, 2017 Well, legally it is about "fit for purpose". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkmoore Posted January 31, 2017 Share #9 Posted January 31, 2017 I have had the same experience in the USA as BBHewee. In fact, I have never paid for a single repair for any Leica lens or camera I have owned whether purchased new or used. I have complained about slow service in the past but now that I think about it.....Wowzers that is good customer service! 6 years of use, probably 8 different items at Leica NJ and spent $0.00. Probably shouldn't ever complain again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
