Hi Guys,

Just bought my Milgauss (black standard) today from an AD in Scotland

Well.. it's a very nice timepiece, but can anyone who recently bought one (preferably in the UK) tell me what should be included with a complete package? Mine comes with the following:

1. Outer and inner boxes (small size, non-foldable front panel)
2. Green wallet for CCC
3. Suede cloth
4. Red COSC tag
5. Green tag
6. CCC (not in English)
7. Green Milgauss booklet (in English)
8. Green Warranty booklet (in various languages)

I'm curious because I notice those who bought in the US also have with their package a 'Factory Service' booklet (gold color) and an outer cardboard sleeve. I also suspect that the box I have now may not be the correct one as all papers/booklets can't fit properly in the compartment.

Thanks in advance!

Frank

Congrats, Frank!

I'd expect the outer cardboard sleeve, too?

Please post some pics, including a wristshot!

sounds right to me, SS watch small box, no service book here, if your talking about the outer white sleeve that goes over the 2 correct boxes really it's nothing!!!!!!

Well, I expect that the OUTER cardboard sleeve states the Milgauss GV reference number (model number) + the band ref. #.

IMHO sure part of the package!

you should of got a styrofoam spacer too, which comes with all new rolex boxes to prevent the lid sticking :-)

I've experienced such issue with my GMTII's box and will surely ask for a styrofoam spacer tomorrow.

Thanks Steve!

Thanks Steve/Bo! :-)

So, does it mean a gold 'Factory Service' booklet is not a standard thing which should come with every package? I might try to get a new box w/ foldable front panel from my AD tomorrow though as I think it is more practical for everyday use.

I'll take some photos and post them here soon - don't have a digital cam at home.

Cheers!

the fold down boxes only come with the large green boxes [reserved for gold watches i believe]

Also I'll ask for the outer carboard sleeve if they can find it (they might have trashed it already :_().

Congrats on you purchase

Here's what came with mine. Not shown is the outer box, the chronometer seal and hang tag and cloth are in the box.

Mike - Did you buy yours in the UK?

Mine doesn't come with a 'factory service' booklet and a paper cardboard :-(

No, I'm in the states--Ohio. I've read of some problems with UK buyers not getting all the booklets.

If that's true then it is not fair to UK buyers...

In Denmark you also don't get the Factory Service booklet and cardboard holder for the booklets.
