With the D6 coming in 2020 there's going to be many D5's (US) available I would imagine, mine included.... maybe.

It's not news to me. Why don't you do something really silly like entering "Nikon Grey Market Repair Policy" into an internet search site and see what pops up.
That's right, if you saw it on the internet it has to be true!

Yours is a Gray market, I would stay away.
I got mine off ebay, new, 0 shutter count, battery, camera only, no charger, US version, $3200. Got to keep looking, the deals are out there.

I agree with you.
Why aren't you addressing this to the person that initiated the inappropriate comment?

The D6 is being kept well under wraps. Something MIGHT be up, like maybe a mirrorless, mirror hybrid or something like the Sony A99II with a translucent mirror, allowing it to act as a mirrorless with the advantages of mirrorless only with a mirror.
Life is interesting.

That is incorrect information. Here’s a screenshot I took directly from the Nikon USA site just now.

Do I read this correctly. Imagine this scenario. Suppose as UK citizen who legally purchases a Nikon product here in the UK and subsequently moves, legally, the USA, and damage my Nikon camera I will be unable to get it repaired?
Equally suppose a US service person serving in the UK moves back home.

Now, that it is confirmed that Nikon USA will not fix this high end D5 camera. I personally would not buy it. Some say that the D5, can go in excess of 400,000 shutter clicks. Still, if I could afford to pay., I would not buy it for the price listed by the OP.

You can get it repaired by Nikon USA, but Nikon will charge you. Of course you have other repair options that may cost less.
Your place of residence makes no difference. It is the place of purchase.

My understanding is that, in your 1st case scenario, Nikon will repair it; but NOT in its US repair facility. The owner would have to send it to a Nikon overseas repair facility for repairs.
I have no idea about your second scenario since you did not state if the service person purchased a gray market unit.
For a definitive answer, I suggest you contact Nikon directly and pose each of your scenarios to a Nikon consumer service employee.
