I've got two Panerai boxes, in addition to the boxes for my genuines. They do wonderfully taking up space in my closet.

This. What's the point unless you like to make watch box dens with your children? Actually I could do quite a good castle (full size) if I'd bought a rep box with all my watch purchases... better not tell my granddaughters that, they'll be furious I didn't...

Stay away from those rep boxes. If your cleaning lady finds out, you are in for a lot of headache

Doesn’t make sense to me, they look shit comparatively and unless you’re desperate to live out some ad fantasy why bother. If you have a gen and want to retain or accrue as much as that particular model possibly can then box and papers is essential but outside of that I can’t see that it would serve you any purpose whatsoever unless you’re a lowlife who wants to try and rip someone off.
I never did it before but since my last purchase was a birthday present for my wife I felt that I wanted a box for three reasons.
I needed a nice box to wrap the watch in.
She needed a place to store the watch when she didn't use it.
And I wanted to make the reveal and experience as good as possible even though its a rep.
Therefore I invested in a gen box.

I see your point. Some watches comes with over size boxes and ridiculous amounts of paraphernalia.
Tell me about it!
I have watch boxes which have gone moldy and I have had to get them cleaned !
Boxes are a PITA
I am so glad they are the last thing I need with a Rep

Gen watch boxes are an investment though. If you have a winder or watchbox, then it maybe redundant but otherwise I find gen watchbox a good place to store the watch. Also comes in handy as a presentation box if you ever want to sell on online forums or eBay
Personally I think it’s a waste of money for reps. I would only put the box in a cupboard somewhere so no point in having one.

You're Saying I Can Sell?
No its not, I only bought once when i got my wife a rep and i don't even know where is that box now. She doesn't like hoarding things so i wont be shocked if she threw it away

I have bought boxes in the past if I plan to give a rep as a gift, but I normally just throw the crappy generic paper work that they come with.
When it comes to me I would much prefer to buy a nice watch box that I can stone multiple watches in rather than a load of boxes that take up space in the wardrobe/loft.
