Rep papers are invariably crap and you'll be real lucky if they actually apply to the watch version you have.

The boxes are quite nicely made whatever dealer you buy 'em from (assuming you buy the more expensive ones - the cheapies are junk), but frankly, they're still a waste of money. For the same or less you can buy a high-quality watchbox from someone like Acetimer that will hold several watches.

I find the Panerai box (light brown one) very well made, box and papers. If you have a PAM with seconds @9, the papers will be perfect (as the certificate comes with "petites secondes" description)
But basically you're right, probably more than 50% of the boxes that are sold are of cheap to hardly decent quality, and papers feel like garbage.
For having tried many (so sick I am in my approach to reps), I found most I bought being garbage (or arriving already scratched of with a flaw), but had very good surprises on the Panerai one, Vacheron Constantin "leather like" and also on the black IWC one (the white being the worst thing I saw).

I'm displaying my collection in watch winders, but enjoy to own about 10 rep or gen watch boxes (coming from *bay), for decorative purpose in my watch room :D

Which is sure is that the prices asked are usually outrageous. I would not buy at full price. If you have a preferred dealer, try to negociate while buying an other watch, you can get them for half to a third of the price. And still that's probably 5 times more than what they're worth :lol:

In my opinion they are crap. They look nice, however, they get dings and dents easily and then you will see the white paper or what ever is under the black paint and it looks very cheap then.

In my opinion not worth 100euro (i had the high quality one!). I'd rather spend 300 for a genuine box, if you really want it!
