Am not a Box fan, they take up space, people could live in the modern Speedmaster box set. And you cannot wear a box, with style anyway. The watches I keep, I wear and find it more accessible to store these in pouches but, hey, a sock would probably suffice....would need a colour system though.
Having said all that, if box and papers are original and issued with a vintage watch I totally get this can be perceived as more collectable and, hence, valuable.
The only “full set” I own is my birth year Smiths Astral T-105. The watch and one double sided guarantee sheet fit perfectly into their cardboard box, no room to spare. Original, space saving, vintage and recyclable packaging. Ahead of their time they were,
As always each to their own.
Cheers.
