I just bought from a forum member an Explorer II (216570) and he told me it was coming in a large box. I never thought it would be this big and heavy. It weighs over 5 pounds, has an outer sleeve, outer box, inner green box with a removable piece and compartments. Here are some pictures:
Sorry for the sideway pics

Never seen a box like that. It's pretty cool looking.

Yes I have.

Have you ever seen a Rolex box like this?

RichM · 5 January 2017, 07:57 AM

Congrats on the watch

I think that's the box the platinum Daytona watch comes in. Maybe all platinum watches.

gregph · 5 January 2017, 07:57 AM

oh god i want one!

Steve36Efc · 5 January 2017, 07:58 AM

After the first couple of pics I was thinking Platona. Never seen one like it before, but wouldn't mind one.

Is that the King Midas box?

yunach · 5 January 2017, 08:04 AM

Have never seen that box.
I'll take it off your hands though!

watchwatcher · 5 January 2017, 08:15 AM

That's an XL box, usually reserved for the big dog models...congrats, you just got an upgrade.

The steel models usually come in the small boxes...which are VERY aptly named.

wm5382 · 5 January 2017, 08:22 AM

Trade with my small box pls

Chewbacca · 5 January 2017, 08:28 AM

i think that box has better resale than a exp2

Skittman · 5 January 2017, 08:33 AM

Normally reserved for Platinum pieces I believe.

Castiel · 5 January 2017, 08:34 AM

Score !!!!

Sublover2166 · 5 January 2017, 08:36 AM

Platinum Daytona box!

Never thought, I'd hear myself saying this but...........great box

gregmoeck · 5 January 2017, 08:37 AM

King of box...Never seen that one before...

MonBK · 5 January 2017, 08:38 AM

When you buy a Rolex Master Piece it comes in that box.

gregmoeck · 5 January 2017, 08:39 AM

You've just opened the flood gates...Everyone will be asking the sellers and ad for the big box..Oh boy

William.L. · 5 January 2017, 08:41 AM

I think I've got two of those. I think they were from a Tridor

Gonna ask my AD for an XL box next time!

TheRolexKingofLV · 5 January 2017, 08:44 AM

Received that box with my Platona as well.

Onikage · 5 January 2017, 08:48 AM

Nope. I do wonder what purpose the extra compartments serve though? It could probably house several watch cushions with some simple DIY.

droptopman · 5 January 2017, 08:57 AM

Great responses. I have not seen it either. I now know why. I do not own a Platona.

Best Rolex box I have seen. Nice score and nice watch too. Congrats!

Chiboy · 5 January 2017, 09:24 AM

I recently saw one of these boxes.
