Full set

A full set is a watch offered with everything it originally came with: the box, the warranty card or certificate, manuals, tags, and any spare bracelet links, often along with the original receipt.

For many buyers a full set is worth more than the watch alone, because the accessories make the watch's history easier to trust and its future resale easier. That premium belongs in your estimate of the sale price, which is where it should affect your offer.

The phrase gets used loosely. Before you pay a full-set price, check exactly what is present, confirm the card matches the watch's serial, and price a partial set as a partial set.
