Many vintage watches do not come with accessories such as warranties or boxes.
Therefore, if there are any remaining accessories, the selling price will be higher than if there are no accessories.
In the first place, why don't old items such as vintage watches come with accessories?
For example, when you buy a home appliance, you throw away the warranty, manual, and packaging box, right?
The warranty is fine, but the box is a nuisance and I don't use it.
Along with that, when old watches were sold, the warranty was useless once it expired.
Boxes were not as fancy as they are today, and were often made of paper, so they were prone to mold.
Store your watches in a jewelry box or similar.
Therefore, there are often no accessories left.
In many cases, there are no buckles or buckles left,
If you ask for this at a watch store etc. when replacing the belt,
There is a belt manufacturer's buckle originally attached to the belt, so
It seems that it was replaced without being replaced.
I don't think the shop had any malicious intent, but they didn't replace the buckle.
I don't think the customers were particularly concerned either.
Nowadays, the purchase price of current second-hand products can vary greatly depending on whether accessories are included or not.
Many people who buy a watch don't have to worry about the warranty card or the box.
In many cases, the receipt from the time of purchase is also kept.
There are also differences from vintage items in this respect.
Vintage items are interesting because you can see the historical background of the time.
When it comes to accessories, you don't have to worry about whether the price will go up later or how they are purchased.
I think it was bought with the intention of using it anyway.
Product selling prices are now too high and difficult to buy,
One reason may be that there were many items within easy reach.
Vintage items, not just watches, that come with accessories,
That alone is extremely valuable.
If jeans have a paper tag, the paper itself has more value than the product itself.
Generally speaking, this is a story that is likely to end up in the trash.
You never know what will happen.
This is the Cartier must-have tank, complete with accessories, that I purchased the other day.
It is rare that this watch still has its accessories, but
In addition, it comes with the super bonus of dead stock.
If you think about it normally, it's hard to imagine that the accessories would still be dead stock, but...
Actually, the warranty is for Pasha, not the mast tank.
I think it was included by mistake because the cover is the same.
The serial number listed matches the main unit, so
I think they simply added a different warranty card by mistake.
Maybe that's why they didn't sell it and kept it dormant.
It is not certain whether it is true or false.
For better or worse, this kind of thing is common with Vintage watches.
If something similar happens now, it will be posted on SNS immediately...
It seems like it gives a bad impression,
I think back then, the world was such that such things were acceptable.
I wish I had enough mental space to enjoy it without seeing it as a "bad" thing.
