once you start seriously collecting and have been around awhile amassing a large collection those boxes become nothing but a big nuisance"

And surely you don't mean to imply you need to keep ALL your boxes in case you want to sell ALL your Benarus watches?

I 100% absolutely do keep every box, every hang tag, extra links, and even the plastic circular things that fit on the crystals for all 200+ watches i own.  I then take a picture of the watch, print out the picture to keep it with all this stuff.  All this stuff and the pic are all stored in whatever kind of box the watch comes in....they are then put into a large plastic storage box, and put somewhere in my house.  I do this for one simple reason, if I ever sell the watch I have the complete kit to go with it.

And I agree with Oscar, this is a ROYAL PIMA....I now have 4 48" x 20" x 20" plasticboxes that I need to store some where
