I bought my Victorinox Dive Master automatic from Amazon (directly from Amazon, not a third party). Amazon is also a gray market dealer that is not authorized to sell Victorinox watches. When the watch arrived, I sent photos and the serial number to Victorinox to ensure its authenticity. Sure enough, they wrote back and said it was 100% legit and they even offered me a 1 year warranty just for checking with them.
So, it's certainly worth a try to contact the company for a warranty, even if you don't buy it from an authorized dealer.
