Check the condition

A watch with box and papers or even a Full Set is a nice thing to have. It can also increase the investment value of your watch when you come to sell it. Of course this works both ways and therefore buying a watch with box and papers or a Full Set will increase the cost.

For more information see our article on <a href="https://www.oakleighwatches.co.uk/what-do-we-mean-by-a-full-set/">‘What do we mean by a Full Set?’</a> and <a href="https://www.oakleighwatches.co.uk/investment-watches-an-expert-guide/">‘Investment Watches: An Expert Guide’</a>

Do I need the Box and Papers?

For absolute confidence, we would always advise you ask an expert and/or buy from a reputable seller.
