Watches
Reference, movement, case, dial, bracelet, box and papers, service history.
The reference number and serial number are what a specialist, an insurer or a buyer will ask for first; box and papers moves the value more than any other single fact. Service history is a free-text log — date, who, what was done — and a watch with no service in years will show in Protect's attention list once you set a cadence.

How it is valued
Appraisal, dealer quote or auction result for the reference; your estimate otherwise. The valuation engine draws on comparable sales for the reference. Every figure is kept in the asset's valuation history with its source and date — see Valuation.
