The fellas are back at Analog:Shift HQ and this time they tackle a question that has been asked since collecting vintage watches became as popular as it is today — does box & papers matter?

It’s an interesting topic considering the amount of clients and collectors that lead with that inquiry. Thomas, Josh and Sam provide their opinions and attempt to see both sides of seeking out the additional factory ephemera, or foregoing it all together.

They raise some interesting points in regard to collector arch, presentation, storage and how box and papers play a role in the watch’s market value. So we leave the question to you … does having the extra goodies actually matter?

Talking:Shift is back, and this week the boys are joined by writer extraordinaire and the face of our Deep Dive video series, Samuel Colchamiro, to create a 4 watch collection with a $40K budget. They decide to spice, or better yet, “sport” things up by using a fantasy draft format outlined by these specific categories — Work, Rest, Play and … Vacay.

Between their different preferences in wristwatch aesthetics and lifestyle choices, as well as the given total spend constraint, each collection ends up being diverse, intriguing, and an accurate representation of each participant.

Were there disagreements? Of course. But in the end, the fellas kept it cordial with some having more money left on the table than others.

As for who had the best collection? Let us know in the comments below and give us your own 4 watch collection!
