Water damaged papers
I’m interested in a 15710 AP Diver in good condition for $15300 which seems like a fair price but it has water damaged papers.
How will that affect re-sale value? The seller won’t reduce the price due to the water damage but I’m hesitant to buy. Please help me decide. Buy or not? |

Buy the watch not the papers. If it’s the right watch and the right price the papers having some water damage won’t be a problem.

Didn’t the seller realise that it’s only the watch that’s water resistant? There are plenty of Divers available with perfect paperwork. I’d get a perfect one or even buy new.

As per above - it’s a fairly available watch so find one your fully happy with.

Is that a Phillips head screw?

Actually, I had a similar issue and it was the exact same Stamp and also water spilt,
Rabat! I was also informed that this is a way of forging papers.. I dug deep in the issue and found out that the watch is genuine but the papers are not. I have no idea if thats the case here but I just had to share my experience after seeing that it was the same stamp. Good Luck bro! |

Ask for some movement pics if you aren’t sure on it. Usually an easy giveaway.
