Hi I've been wondering about the value of an inner and outer box that my 67-68 Omega Seamaster DeVille came in. The watch case itself has a broken off and lost lug so I need to obtain a usable case before I can wear it. I never use the boxes so I'm wondering if they have enough collector value to offset the cost of a case or perhaps to trade for a case. What are your thoughts on this? The original paperwork is still in the box and I don't think it was ever filled out.
Keep the boxes and papers with the watch, don't sell them separately. A watch of that age has far more value as a full set. A watch any age for that matter.
