Some people don’t keep them in the closet, it’s a nice storage box imo. Though I don’t use mine often, when purchasing in secondary market it’s another measure of attention to detail that the seller took care to keep the original box, another sign the watch was also well kept, just like papers and warranty card. Sort of goes along with saying to buy the seller. Same goes with the market for collectible sneakers if you’re familiar, shoes with boxes always go for more. Heck, I’d saying keeping everything original with anything collectible always is a good sign and usually valued higher.
