What is considered a fullset?

[ars1g09]

Interested to see what the public opinion on this:

Out of the following, which do you think is necessary to constitute a 'fullset'?

Green tag
White tag
Bezel protector
Warranty card
Warranty sleeve
Warranty booklet
Instructions booklet

To me, the minimum would be - green tag, warranty card, sleeve & booklet, and the instructions booklet.

In my opinion a full set is watch, original warranty card/papers, and box/manuals.

The green tag is often kept by ADs so I personally don’t feel it’s a must for it to be a complete set.

Also, boxes/manuals can be purchased. So can the red tag. So really with just the watch and card a full set could be put together very easily.

The above + all bracelet links

Watch, warranty card/papers, booklet and box.

I'd figure it depends....

for some I could imagine it is just the watch, with box, warranty card, instructions, and then the chronometer tag (maybe)

for others the watch, bezel protector, both hangtags, all paperwork, inner and outer box....

I like to see all of the bracelet links also but don't really care about the tags or outer cardboard box.

Just the warranty papers, booklets, sleeves, and inner box for me.

Inner green box, outer beige box, warranty card, any links which were removed for sizing, and of course the manual and warranty card holder. Any AD papers above and beyond that are a nice to have, but not necessary. This to me is a complete set. If you manage to keep all or most stickers, great. Added bonus. This makes a sealed full set.

In my opinion, however, stickers aren't required to make a full set (they often get removed, nothing one can do about that). White hang tag doesn't make a full set (this often gets kept at AD). Green hang tag doesn't make a full set (completely unimportant, but usually always stays with the watch set). Plastic bezel protector doesn't make a full set, as this sometimes gets kept by the AD half the time.

This is the correct answer.

Also the correct answer.

Never received the bezel protector on any of my purchases but the green tag has always been included.

Green box, extra links, warranty cards and instruction booklet makes a full set to me.

full set is everything the watch originally comes with. If an AD holds back a tag or bezel protector, I still find that to be within the realm of full set. The links, warranty card, manuals, boxes and sleeves, etc. That's all a must. I guess the most outer white sleeve sometimes ends up staying at the AD too.
