How many times you look in your box and papers after buying?

Once in a while (normaly 1 time in 2 month) i tear off my safe to look into the Rolexbox watching the papers, tags, booklets etc.
My question is am i the only one with this habit?

Kind regards, Gerardus

Yeah, right! They are still there, I take them out every now and then. They're so nice! And bring back nice memories.

I just look initially to make sure everything is there, leave it out for a few days to drool, then pack it away. After that, it's just the watch.

Me too.

Not really into the accessories, but understand that I am only a steward of these fine pieces. Someday, their future owners (my kids, if I decide to have some) might want to have all the goodies.

Never happens, just open the box to take out the watch, close it again before the watch is sold.
