What is Included in "Box & Papers"?

To me "box and papers" is just that, original box and warranty card or paper. Everything else is just gravy, nice to have but not "box and papers". I keep my original reciepts from my AD purchases, but if I sold to a grey I wouldn't include them. I imagine many people feel the same, so not surprised by your comment. I don't think you should feel like you are missing anything.

Thanks! That makes me feel better.

Agree 100%

I bought my dad a Rolex and within 10 minutes of opening it he got up and headed over to the trash can and threw the inner and outer box, hang tag and all stickers and covers away.

I pointed out to him that a lot of people keep those as part of the set and he just shrugged his shoulders and poured himself a whiskey wearing his new Rolex lol

He just kept the warranty card and the watch. Said he didn’t need anything else. He’s not wrong.

To answer the original question, it's as simple as what is mentioned in the question. Should be the watch, the box and the warranty paper/card. I would expect nothing more or nothing less if it's advertised liked that. Not sure why some are complicating things...

Warranty is the most important paper, but it’s nice to get everything else too))
