Hello and welcome to the forum.

Sorry to hear about the fire. And sorry to say, from all experience I've had there is only one box / set of papers per watch, NO exceptions and not negotiable with Breitling. If you want to make sure that you'll have a good resale value, the best thing is probably to look on Ebay for a similar box (but beware of fakes/frauds), and taking the watch to your AD and let him sign some kind of Certificate of Authenticity for it.

hi, just having a look on ebay there and remembered you had lost all the papers etc. I'm not sure which watch you have but this may help?

also, have a look at the other manuals etc for sale, there will probably be something useful there for you.

No problem, glad to be of help. As aleister said, if you are looking for a box, be careful. I bought a replacement box and it turned out to be fake! it wasn't made of bakelite but wood!! disappointing!

Good luck in your search for papers etc.

Patrick

Just a point about papers and boxes on eBay. If you see them on there and want them, then snap them up as soon as you see them (if they have a Buy It Now) as selling a box or papers without the actual watch contravenes eBay policy and they tend to remove them WAY faster than they do blatant fake watches. :roll: (Apparently selling a genuine box or papers with no watch encourages others to commit copywrite infringement by selling fakes :nono: )
