Very comprehensive

Something to ponder - for the watch boxes, some (if not most) of us are seldom aware if the boxes are 'relevant' to the watch. This means that the boxes that come with the watch may not be for the correct watch model. This is especially so for vintage and older watch models. Furthermore, ROLEX took away issuing of the small green cloth for new watches some years back. Does this mean if you come across an M series (2007/08) pre owned/NOS and it doesn't come with the cloth, it cannot be deem a full, complete set?

Most important to me is the warranty card or paper which money cannot buy.

True, to a certain extent. Even with warranty paper/card, it will also depend how much you are willing to pay for it. For example, both sets of Submariner LV (16610) being almost equal, be it in watch condition, year of production, accessories, etc, and one comes with paper while the other none. The one with paper costs $15,000, and the one w/o paper costs $10,000.

Which would you choose?

thanks for pointing it out.

Not too sure when it started, but I'll roughly guess when it ended...

- bought my first, brand new ROLEX watch when it was at Z series (got cloth)
- then another at M series (still got cloth)
- acquired two more V series (still got cloth)
- followed by one more G series (still got cloth)

Then on with the introduction of the AN series (came after G series), no more cloth for new ROLEX watches. ROLEX probably withdrew issuing the green cloth from 2011 onwards, I guess.

Legend:
Z series - between late 2006 & 2008
M series - 2008 to 2009
V series - 2009 to 2010
G series - 2010 to 2011 (small production)
AN series - 2011 onwards

Normally whats the price differential you are willing to pay if lets say apples to apples submariner hulk with or without warranty card?

Basically discount without warranty card?
