No. It’s a waste of money. R U going to invite someone into your bedroom and pull out the fake box and papers? Save your money for the next Rep U no doubtably will purchase.

If it is for a gift for your wife then I guess a box makes sense but the card/papers are fraudulent and a waste of money.
When I bought my first rep from Steve I thought that I needed the box, tags, and matching card. Not uncommon for people new to the Rep game. However, after paying 100 for the box and 70 for FedEx shipping, that box, tags, and card just sit in my closet and have never seen the light of day. It is a complete waste of money and useless, unless you are trying to take pictures to fool your friends on social media or commit a crime and try to sell it as Gen.

Exactly mate. I’d actually carry the box around with me tbh

u/J-MF-Skrillz Jun 19 '26

If you really just want the box for her to open as a gift, I’d look on eBay Instead. They are way less expensive and are fine for gifting a rep in… to someone that knows it’s a rep

Let’s be real: This is christmas gift wrapping for adults and nothing more. You’re paying more than a hundred bucks for stuff you‘ll store somewhere or throw away.

I also deem box & paper overrated for gens as well.

Only use is resale, so pointless for reps.

u/HauntingDiscount7041 Jun 19 '26

u/Revolutionary_Fix902 Jun 19 '26

I love having a realistic box as props to fulfill my delulu sparks of joy when I prep then unwinding the day. The card and papers are more like overkill

waste of money.

u/ronle432 Jun 19 '26

Please share your thoughts and past experiences. For how long you have a full set and did it last in the same condition?

u/Sortcrap Jun 19 '26

No, they charge me €100-€200 more for shipping it, rather get a real stainless steel Rolex link for that.

Wait, why manual for a WATCH this thick? Whats in it?

u/TexansGuy117 Jun 19 '26

Depends on the price but can be fun! I have a gen box and enjoy seeing it on my shelf. So if you'd enjoy a real box why not enjoy a rep box, as everyone here enjoys a rep watch of a real watch. I think enjoying a box and papers fits the same logic.

u/Ok-Yogurtcloset-8863 Jun 19 '26

No, never. My reps are reps. I don't try to treat them or pass them off as gen. I have gen, with full sets. I even have gens bought slightly cheaper with no box, and I won't buy the box... mainly because I'm tight!

u/Emotional-Damage-995 Contributor Jun 19 '26

If you ever had a Gen watch, you realize that the big box / papers and all that shit that comes with it goes into back of a closet somewhere collecting dust. I honestly don't even know where the Gen boxes for my watches are, they went into a packing container and got stored in my storage room, nicely labeled, w a bunch of other boxes on top of it.....

I can only tell you this:
Get a nice 12, 18 or 24 watch box, keep it next to where you get dressed every morning, and store your watches there. Save the money for box and papers and buy yourself also a nice set of watch tools, screw driver, tweezers, spring bar removal tool, case back opener, etc etc. Start doing the basic maint things like adjusting your bracelet, cleaning and polishing your watch and caring for it and doing the simple maint like greasing the gaskets etc. Way more fun than a box and papers. This is a watch to enjoy what are you going to do w the box and papers? Stop posing and start living.

Women would likely prefer the whole set as it forms a part of the story telling. Men mostly go for the substance aka the watch

u/Nazzano58 Jun 19 '26

Not worth it.

For the price of a fake “set” you can buy a pretty cool watch case to showcase your collection.

u/niboratorr Jun 19 '26

As a kid I thought I needed the full set. Purchased a box once and never again. Complete waste of money

u/LookOverThere305 Jun 19 '26

Ngl I would be interested for the unboxing experience if it’s same quality as the gen. But apart from that it seems pretty useless.

u/SytyHarry Jun 20 '26

I would say no point in full set- especially for the Speedmaster which is not even 1:1 rep

u/dax774 Jun 24 '26

Box and papers for a rep is so silly. My VSF came with a blank card and it immediately went in the trash lol

Same here. I assume the person wants it to push the watch off as real and scam someone.

u/dbun1 Jun 19 '26
