I am curious as to what the last two pics are? Does the new SD50 come in a special commemorative box?
Yes - would be keen to see the box and maybe get some dimensions? Thanks

My watch came in a standard mid size box and the Paper Weight came in its own Basel 2017 box.

Congratulations! I am as lucky as you are since my AD made sure I would receive one of the first SD50 of Belgium along with the Basel SD50 paper weight! It's a matter of days now... Can't wait! 😊

Happy birthday! Great pick up. Too bad Rolex didn't reissue a green crystal paperweight.
