Interseting. Leica is obviously a class act in this case. They consider
themselves a part of the whole.

But there is little tolerance when people really break the rules. Such as a
dealer who was caught counterfeiting Passport Warranties. He was fined a
large around by the confiscation of over $100,000 worth of inventory. So
even though Leica honors their warranties overseas, like you said, they make
sure it's legit.
