I would not have necessarily done this. But I can certainly see how someone would.

having no box, only papers would by definition make the watch half nude.

'half naked watch bro!' (no box, only papers!!!)

It's just a small aside, it wasn't meant to change the world. The thread is about the significance of the box and papers. My little story was just about it not always meaning a whole lot in some cases.

I do hope it's all sorted for you now.

Maybe this with the word “Bro” on the bottom might be a hit…

That box seems to be missing its cushion. Too bad.

The box and papers bro story is great, but the Ryan Gosling story in post #10 is equally hilarious.

Shielding his nearly stolen candy bars from electrical interference.

Shocks and capers, bro

Yeah, it was a goodie for sure and I still say it to myself at times, albeit mentally.
