Your watch is pretty much worthless now. Since I am a good person, I will gladly take it off your hands

I miss those days where receipts were printed by a dot matrix printer on good quality papers. They last a long time.

Original receipt fading

I always take a pic of the watch box receipt books etc the day I buy my watches.

Plus it’s good/necessary to have it should an unfortunate loss insurance situation occurs.

I still have pics from my watches I sold! Saved emails/contacts in some cases. One guy that bought one of mine has misplaced his receipt and I have a pic of it still!

OP, ignore the cynical sarcasm here.
I've just noticed this photo' in the 'vintage department'.
It seems the paperwork is important in some circles.

Heat from a naked flame re-darkens faded receipts.

One never knows if one is being sarcastic, humorous (or humourous) or just having a laugh.

If, however, one is serious, then @Oxfordian certainly deserves some kind of award or prize for most OCD thorough record keeping.

My receipt from 1985 is as clear as the day George Washington signed it.

I agree

I am curious as to the value of a 10 year old receipt?
