Yes, I will do the same. Take them all out and take some pics together.

Besides this reason, I will take them out to have a look possibly twice a year in average.

calvinlgoh · 19 December 2009, 02:35 PM

Never..

hng · 19 December 2009, 05:09 PM

i'll do a few times when i got a new watch. i'll do again only when i need to read the manual or when i want to sell it :-)

hi hng,

my one is that with a big "1" on the dial, and 11,111 pcs limited edition, that is to celebrate Michael won the 5th times F1 world championship in 2001. I also noted that one other TRF member Kyle has the same watch. if your one is the same, we then have 3 / 11111.

LOL- SO glad to know I'm not the only one who does it! With a "new" acquisition, I usually look at the papers, packaging, etc. at least once (maybe more) a day....LOL

therolexguy · 20 December 2009, 04:50 AM

but would be considered totally normal for a WIS..

DarkHorse · 8 February 2010, 06:19 PM

Initially I'll look at it, maybe on the first or second day. I won't look at it again until I need it for a reference or something like that :)

Gaijin · 8 February 2010, 10:15 PM

For purposes of just enjoying the beauty of the papers I much prefer the older papers as oppossed to the new cards being issued. Way better.

rhi · 8 February 2010, 11:13 PM

when ever i need a fix

lolo96706 · 8 February 2010, 11:22 PM

Not really, unless I need to look up some information.

dieseldragon · 9 February 2010, 12:03 AM

Last time I got a box out was when I sold my sub. I don't normally look at them as I dont keep the boxes in the safe, when I got the box out, I am ashamed to say that it had gone mouldy/mildewy. I cleaned it all up and thoroughly dried it all out.

I may start looking at them more now..

chrislkb · 9 February 2010, 12:25 AM

Ya, I do stared at it very hard but alas! No SDDS or GMT poofed out of nowhere inside it...

I sometimes take a sniff at it, u know its like some crisp $100 bill

Hope I didnt get myself into a precarious position here... Rollie box feitish...

I need my shrink now!

sea-dweller · 9 February 2010, 01:43 AM

I look at the papers, manuals and boxes every few months.

brkanand · 9 February 2010, 01:55 AM

I agree. Once in two months, I do open and look for papers etc.,

1Gunner · 9 February 2010, 02:03 AM

Wish I could remember where I put the damn box.....

SPORTSFAN · 9 February 2010, 02:11 AM

SS Sub on my wrist.

Gmt II pepsi in the drawer.

Boxes ? I don't know, maybe in the garage somewhere?

I will rectify this abnormal behaviour forthwith............

al_bongo · 9 February 2010, 02:32 AM

Not since the day I bought the watch. Enough to know it's around somewhere though might check for mildew now.

JohnBoy · 9 February 2010, 03:37 AM

Once every couple of years.....

31jewelscom · 9 February 2010, 04:41 AM

Were supposed to keep the papers?

tandrup · 9 February 2010, 08:07 AM

I haven't really looked at my boxes and papers since I bought the watches. They are sitting in a closet somewhere.
