Mido sells its watches exclusively through its global network of certified distributors, whose addresses are listed in the point of sales section.Furthermore, Mido watches are sold with an international warranty card completed by the retail outlet and stating the serial number, reference of the watch, as well as the full name and address of the reseller. If in doubt regarding the origin of your watch, you can contact your closest service centre to carry out a complete analysis of your Mido.
For watches where I do not know the serial number, I have identified it by any portion of the serial number known, plus a post date. The watch represented on each row is intended to be unique within the table, though as watches are bought and sold, there may be some in the table with unknown serial numbers that are the same watch (if you know of any, please let me know).
