serif@checkavailability@serif These come with the official box and you may receive the warranty, but we don't guarantee that you will receive the warranty. It's invalid outside of Japan anyway, so if you purchase this watch anywhere else online, it may very well be the same situation. These new watches will come with the usual protective plastics.
ChristopherJThanks for clarifying. If i had a choice, I would definitely prefer to have all papers included. Even if the warranty is invalid outside of Japan, it's documentation that potential buyers look out for as a mark of authenticity if/when we ever sell or trade our watch.
serifAgreed, it helps immensely should you ever choose to sell/trade. Based on past comments it seems like a crap shoot on whether or not it's included. I guess that's the price to be paid for a $50 discount.
