Correct cardboard box?
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 https://www.chrono24.co.uk/rolex/sub...id23315056.htm 3) the later cream box are also legitimate. https://www.chrono24.co.uk/rolex/sub...id21735309.htm

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. |

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. Insta : haywood_milton_rolex

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

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