Look for ….
<ul>
 	<li>Scratches and dents on the case, bezel and bracelet.</li>

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.

Do I need the Box and Papers?
