Original Box?

If its original then the watch must be fake also.

i believe the pillow and blanket should be darker more like the color of the wood. Also there should be a crown on the outside of the box in the lower right corner. Im no expert by any means just some observations.

The wood work looks ok from what I can see, the color is different but that could be the camera work, lets compare the pair:

From the listing:



Heres my box from my DJ:

Dave how come you don't have a fake one ? You spend hours chasing them and you still don't have one yourself . PM me your home address , soon the " Senegalese and Nigerian AD's " come peddling their "pre-Basel" stock on the Spanish Costa's . I'll get you a nice "specimen" OK ? Do you care for a Day Date rotating bezel Daytona with gas escape valve ?

I have the exact same box as shown in the auction. Mine is a "fake". I bought it as a no-name giftbox. There's no writing anywhere, even the bottom is just a solid green. These are common for like $5-$10. In the auction pictures the blanket covers the location of the crown. Probably because it is not there

Cheers for the info, if there are no trademarking then it doesn't hit the status of trademark infringement unless the seller states its an original Rolex box.

Seller recently sold an Omega w/a two word description.

This may be ok. Local purchase or Paypal coverage would be a MUST on this one...
