You do not necessarily need papers to sell a watch, but having original papers and documentation can increase the value of the watch and make it more attractive to potential buyers.

Original papers typically include the watch's warranty card, owner's manual, and/or certificate of authenticity. These documents can provide important information about the watch's authenticity, provenance, and history of maintenance and servicing, which can be valuable to buyers.

However, not all watches come with original papers or documentation, and some may have lost or damaged paperwork over time. In these cases, it's still possible to sell the watch, but it may be more challenging and may fetch a lower price.

If you are selling a watch without original papers or documentation, it's important to be transparent and provide as much information as possible about the watch's history, condition, and authenticity to potential buyers. Providing high-quality photos and a detailed description of the watch can also help increase its value and attract potential buyers.
