>> Dear Mr. Orlent,
>>
>> Thank you for your prompt reply.
>>
>> The warranty should always be duly filled-in, including the  
>> signature and
>> stamp of the dealer.
>>
>> Furthermore, checking on Hong Kong Supplies we have found, that  
>> this dealer is
>> not an authorized Leica dealer. He is obviously buying grey  
>> products and is
>> offering these at very low prices on Internet. He is not supplied  
>> by our
>> official agency in Hong Kong.
>>
>> How can we be sure that the product which Hong Kong Supplies has  
>> sold to you
>> is a brand-new item and not a used one?
>> According to the serial number, the MP left our factory in 2004.
>>
>> Looking forward to hearing from you again, I remain

>> Thank you for your reply,

>> 2) Owner's page: my coordinates
>> 3) Purchase confirmation: Model, Nr., Date of sale, but NO  
>> Dealer's stamp
>> and signature: I suppose this latter is replaced by the HK  
>> Supplies invoice.
>>
>> Is this OK?
>> And where should I send warranty card and invoicce?
