It is like buying a house with a garage or no garage with the same square footage. The one with garage is in higher demand and worth more. If you know how to buy you can get a good used 5711 for 19-21k complete. I payed a little less than that but I hunted and one can say my time was worth way more than the savings.
Also look how days on market of watches with open papers vs filled out. Shorter time to sell, and slight premium for open papers. Why, because it is more perferd my many.

That's where I get confused. What are papers really worth in conjunction with the watch? Would you really spend even an extra $3k for the 5711 that had papers versus the one that didn't?
I understand this would be different for a minute repeater...
