Rolex Updates Watch Box
Came across this on social media, thought I’d share. Has anyone received the updated box as yet?

Just from looking you can see the top wave texture/design is different.

Also the outer box is Rolex green now, not cream colored. Can’t see anything else visually different.

Boxes are still made by third party in many parts of the world so in most countries there will be variations especially say USA.The USA is a separate company from Rolex SA but a box is just a box nothing more and not the best packaging box in the watch world.

Looks like the cut out on top inside box for warranty card is missing

The cut out is still in there. It’s just the angle of the photo.

No, it's not there anymore. I have more pictures on my blog and you can see it's gone.

So maybe the other possibility is that it’s not authentic?

We haven’t seen one on TRF (I don’t believe).

I realize dealers might have loads of boxes to work through, but still …

No. But you can buy them online and apply them to the box yourself.

A modern updated "artsy" styling I guess. Maybe a little too much green? The creme outer box, then the green inner box and the creme interior make a nice contrast imo.

Wondering if this is real news? Could be AI generated? The "oval" at the bottom of the Rolex crown looks a bit deformed. Also, no 1/2 circle cutout on the upper panel for the booklets storage? I wouldn't imagine them eliminating that storage area.

The best were the compact wooden boxes with outer leather coating. Those were the days.

Yea, they felt like legitimate jewelry boxes you’d want to sit out. At this point only Panerai and some Omega boxes are worth displaying these days.

Mystro, you will be disappointed to know that Panerai have now changed their boxes to a much inferior blue one. It is nothing like their previous ones. Maybe their higher end references still come in a nicer box (I don't know), but I know that is not the case for their more affordable watches.

Agree, you spend a pretty penny and get plastic crap.
