Papers in another language

Hey all,

Does it make a massive difference if you are buying a watch and the papers are in a different language.

When I mean papers I mean the old style guarantee paper work....


Thanks

if the papers are in the correct language to where the watch originated at an AD then its preferred even if you cant read it

As long as they are legitimate then it should be fine. All it would say on it is the date (which you should still be able to read) the dealer’s name and the original buyer’s name. Everything else is standardized print.

Yes, it makes a huge difference.

The watch should always have the proper paperwork for the market in which it was originally intended. If you have an Asia Market watch and it has Italian paperwork, it should be a deal-breaker.

Hey, how would you know which market the watch was intended for or rather made for?

No difference, as long as it is the full set of course.
