My question is, how much more can/should you pay for a watch with boxes, warranty card, manual, tags, brochures, etc over a watch with nothing but a box, or nothing at all. I'm not even talking paperwork for service or original transaction receipts, i'm just talking the soft good stuff.

It's worth something to the overall price of the watch, right ?

A box can be had for $100 to $150. I usually discount $200 to $300 if I don't have the original warranty/chronometer paper.

Personally, the only reason I care is resale.
