If you are buying from original owner then box and papers might not mean much. There are stolen watches and fake watches out there. Buying from a reputable dealer should minimize the risk of a fake but that has even been reported on the forums. A reputable dealer should without issue refund the money. Stolen watches can create a pickle for you when you go to service with RSC and that can be years later. You can buy a watch without papers and immediately send to RSC but you are incurring additional cost immediately. So in the end, you must decide what risk you want to take by buying a watch without papers. A vintage watch with papers might be more difficult to come by but a modern Rolex without papers is a no go for many. Then you have the Rolex CPO watches that people are willing to pay a premium for to know it’s been service and verified and has 2 year warranty card. I guess box too. Many folks buy and sell watches regularly so they might not care but for some a bit more money up front to know that watch is not stolen.
