I understand for resale it helps, but if you buy for a lot less and sell it down the road for a lot less, its still not too far off.
Big question mark for me, even after what you said is WILL the RM AD service a watch with no papers.
If they will, then I would consider (I know after I try on and know what I want..lol).
Sorry to beat this question into the ground, but its important to know for me approaching this.
(the sellers I am looking at are very trusted, so no worries on authenticity, just servicing).

As Paul says, get confirmation from RM direct, however I believe RM will be more than happy to take your money to service a watch with no papers. Also you then have some documented proof of authenticity and a service record so if you can pick up way cheaper without papers it may be worth considering.

When you try a few on I bet you will start to consider models you never gave a second look at in pictures.

Good luck.
