Correct cardboard box?

[Alex369]

What is the correct outer box for a Submariner 14060M circa 2008?

The current card board boxes are a creamy color, but is a slightly "lime" colored box from 2008-ish correct?

Thanks!

Need a photo or two please - there are loads of fake boxes out there, some very very lime ones are fakes. For 14060 and 14060M 3 boxes found - two full set 2008 examples below:

1) Officially, marble blue/green smaller boxes ended in late 90s, but I’ve seen 14060 and 14060m watches sold later than that with one from a dealers old stock up to 2008 ! More likely though two below:

2) the early very light lime green is ok

3) the later cream box are also legitimate.

From the little I've learnt, that's a sort of uncharted territory. Nobody's really sure about anything as boxes were supplied separately to ADs and they mismatched them at delivery.

I can just show you my 16800 matte dial (#8.275.XXX) box pics, hoping to have helped you out.

From my "Z" 14060M around late 2006.

If it's a 2 liner, it shouldn't have the red COSC seal.

My AD exceeded himself and gave me the full Monty.

Filip, your set looks like the one I posted.

No problem Filipao. I was just confirming the box to be correct.

In 2008 there is no question which box should have been supplied with a 14060M.

It would have been the small ("SAMOA") style of the ripple-top inner with pale green interior, E-shaped watch cushion and very pale, apple green outer boxes.

The newer style boxes with light beige outers were not supplied until 2014.

I understood that the watches were not shipped from the factory in boxes.
They were given boxes from the AD..any truth in this?
