I have been having a bit of a clear out and going through some old watch boxes I have started to throw a few out. I know for many people the whole "Box and papers" is a big thing but unless its some particularity remarkable watch I now have to wonder whats the point? I have now reached a point where the watches I have are ones I intend to keep so dont have any need to keep boxes thinking of selling a watch in the future and really, its just clutter that I could do without.

There are some watch boxes I can think of that are quite nice such as Longines that have a nice wood box that can be reused for something else (Storing watch straps etc) or say the old Stowa watch boxes with that retro metal tin.

Has anyone else reached a point where watch boxes are just pointless clutter and unless can be found for another use are just for the bin? Is there still such a need for "box and papers" regardless of the watch?
