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

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.

Same here. I put them up along with any extra links and I dont see them again unless I sell the watch or need a link! I do vacuum pack them though, maybe that is a little odd but it keeps them in pristine condition. I have the box and papers from my very first Rolex that I bought about 16 years ago and they look brand new!

Almost 20 years and I haven't looked yet. I haven't looked at the receipt for my golf clubs, either.
