Gray Marketing goes on all the time in the US Jewelry Business. You might be surprised by how many big name corporate stores do this. Watches are the worst. For example, Seiko gives a 3 year warranty. One year is world wide and the other two years is good only in the country it was manufactured for. You buy a gray market Seiko that has the Day/Date's second language as Spanish or Arabic (the most common) and you would have to send it to the original country for warranty repair. And be especially careful when buying cheaper name brand watches off the Internet.
