I’m sure the Rolex/ luxury watches from the 1980s left the store with boxes and papers
. It’s ok to admit you don’t have them but to say the 1980s models rarely have boxes and paper is absurd.
Definitely not afraid to admit… I buy and sell a lot of watches and you 100% correct they are 20% less without boxes or papers, and that is why I have it priced fair.I’m sure the Rolex/ luxury watches from the 1980s left the store with boxes and papers
Fyi, The watches are usually 17-22% less without box and papers depending on the models. I think yours is priced at market price fairly for a turn-o-graph
There is no paper work. It should have came with a card you scan with your phone and it has all of the watch info as well as a 2 year warranty from Rolex with an expiration date. See photo for the items that come with a Rolex service from a Rolex service center.
I'm not trying to shit on your post so I apologize if it came off that way. Just pointing what you said about it's "rare" not having papers and boxes. I also collect and trade watches so we both know there are plenty of sellers that sell 40+ year old watches with papers or/and boxes. A quick google search pull up at least 30+ of Turn-o-Graphs (Model #16253) with papers and boxes.
Any authorized dealer has an authorized service person to work on them. They go hand in hand with one another. I’m not positive but it may even be a requirement from Rolex to be an authorized dealer. Rolex stores are more of a boutique for people to look at them. Almost never have anything for sale, just for viewing. We have a few in Las Vegas casinos.
