That gap surprises people, because the watch itself is the same object either way.<\/p>\n<p>The reason is downstream. Whoever buys it next will ask for the paperwork, and without it they will discount for the risk that the movement was replaced, the dial is a service dial, or the piece is not what it claims to be. That discount rolls all the way back to the counter.<\/p>\n<p>If you have the box in a loft somewhere, it is genuinely worth the trip home. Spare links matter too \u2014 a bracelet missing links is worth less because the next owner may not fit it. And if you have nothing at all, that is fine: we will still open the case back, verify the movement and give you a real number. It will just be a number that reflects what the next buyer will ask.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A luxury watch with its original box, warranty card and service history can be worth a third more than the identical watch without them.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":47,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3,5],"class_list":["post-46","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-guide","tag-watches"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-pawn-shop-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-pawn-shop-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-pawn-shop-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-pawn-shop-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-pawn-shop-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-pawn-shop-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-pawn-shop-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-pawn-shop-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-pawn-shop-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/scintillawpthemes.com\/demo\/swp-pawn-shop-pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
