Horological Meandering

In Chrono24, which the seller say it is new, unworn, but it doesn't have box or papers. I am talking about new models, made in 2019 to 2021. I found it very strange that nowadays, while most people know how valuable an expensive watch is, are they so care... 

I too would refrain from buying a 'new' watch from chrono24. I would buy it from an AD or from the watchmaker himself if possible. And yes the same thought does cross my mind when a new or relatively new watch is being sold without box and papers. Peace o... 

I dont want to support thieves. And i feel a new watch is too expensive for not having papers

But they are neo vintage pieces so i understand the condition. And i used ky conversation with him/them as an "instinct" of how well they can be trusted. Glad everything went smooth

While only the watch be worn, i like to unpack the stuff. Watches without box triggers the ones that want all for a bargain. I know box and papers stays in closets for years untouched, albeit that is for me a sign i buy no stoles stuff and it feels i boug... 

Got the cards, original receipt, service papers, and manual book....it was a joy, even with the deteriorated box and dusty papers.

is what is so great. Who was the previous owner? Was it a watch of a famous guy? Who service the watch and what was replaced? Conserve what is possible. I throw not much away. Even when a watch lost for a long time. I discovered a Armani box quickly lost ... 

Which model are you looking at, examples?

Its important for me to have a complete package although the box and papers will be stored away i know i have a full set . If i can get a watch i like without a box from a trusted seller i will hunt for a box as long as possible to still get it complete

My next watch i want to have an allocation for. So C24 seems to be amazing, but only for older references imo.

I feel safer. But from a someone in the internet, it feels just not right, to get a watch in new condition without papers.

… when fees for the seller are 1.5% higher for a „very good“ listed timepiece vs a „unworn“ listed watch. And like with every potential purchase: the personal communication with a seller gives you a lot more insight than any listing. Cheers Henrik ... 

I have used C24 on several occasions and touch wood, I have had good experiences. I would not buy a modern watch without box and papers, let alone over the internet. Firstly, I like my watches “complete”. Secondly and most importantly, the possibility tha... 

and despite selling much older watches always provided box and papers to the buyer. I like to buy the same way. Maybe I am being too picky, but I feel that a real watch enthusiast would keep all the original items that are part of the purchase of a watch.... 

If a new watch doesn’t have box and papers. The first thought that would come into my mind is that maybe the watch is stolen. Even if it wouldn’t be a collector in question I think there is no reason that paperwork would have been thrown away. I wouldn’t ...
