116500 and importance of white swing tag

I'm looking to possibly purchase a white dial Daytona on the grey market. I noticed many examples don't include the white swing tag and those that do seem to command a premium with respect to price.
I'll be wearing the watch, but, I also want the option to be able to sell the watch easily in the future if I need to. Any thoughts on the importance of getting a 'complete' set that includes the white tag, or, doesn't it really matter if i have this or not?
Thanks

It’s great to have but not necessary at all. Some ADs take it.

You want the warranty card, box and all links.

Don't pay more for "full set".. price is more important than the white tag, if the price is right & watch is in good condition / unworn, i wouldnt care about that white tag..

I’d wait for full set. Original receipt does the same as the white swing tag provided it says m116500ln-0001 or “white dial”

The White Tag and the outer sleeve along with whatever else makes up a full set is nice to have. There was a time when I was paying premium for having a fully stickered watch those don't come up much anymore it's up to you and it depends on how much the premium is. ? Being a collector of Rolex watches for me I always like to have the white tag and the outer sleeve that's got the numbers that match the watch. And another thing as far as I'm concerned when I buy a Rolex I keep it for life my collection continues to build and I enjoy it i wear every watch i have them laid out on a shelf in my safe so I can see them every time i open the safe. I suppose if you have the green superlative chronometer tag and the warranty card and the booklet or booklets i wouldn't think it would reduce the price of the watch or the value of the watch to not have the white tag i just think it would be easier to sell perhaps just a nice extra..

not having that tag isn't gonna make it any harder to sell it if you ever decide to. greys will take it off you easily with or without it but you'll just get less money for it without the tag. obviously you're paying less now though so it makes no difference at the end of the day
