 again it all depends on the watch....make,model etc...as this is different from brand to brand:) a higher end watch would be something I would want the box and papers and if they weren't available I would be looking to pay much less although this isn't always the case....a Rolex 5517 recently sold for $70,000. no box or papers but nonetheless extremely rare and valuable,whereas a lower end watch  wouldn't really matter as for example many of us buy Seikos NIB from overseas without a box and papers at a much greater discount and trade that way on sales forums.

    What I am trying to get across to you is knowing watches should be your top priority and learning to research the various brands that interest you so you have a better idea of what the worth of that watch may be before entering into purchasing from the secondary market or any market for that matter.this thread could have ended in 1 reply if you would have just came out and said "hey this is the watch I am looking to buy and is it a good deal"many have asked that question on 3T and received concise answers that helped in the purchase or direction to take:D
