Looking for a Sub box......

Hi all, real quick, just got my '97-'98 16613 TT Blue Sub not to long ago, but no box or papers, no biggie, not a deal breaker, but I would like to have a place to put when it is not on my wrist, (I also like that anchor as well), so if any has one or knows where I can get one, maybe an owners manual as well....that would be great.
THANKS!

If box is no biggie, then why not get a winder instead?

Well the anchor is of no real use only for marketing, as for the box well its just a box and not the best of those. And no way would I pay some crazy prices some want to charge for them,I keep my watches in my spare sock draw when not on the wrist.As for the so called papers which in the real world is just a warranty bit of paper and with your watch now long expired even if you had it.Now if you have no service history with your watch then it would be wise to service it soon by the RSC. Then you will get a service paper/card with all the watch details on the that will act like a full two year warranty.

Any service done by the RSC even if done through a AD should have a service paper or card that will be a two year warranty.If you did not have the service papers with watch ask for it,if no service paper/card then it was not serviced by a RSC.

I was just about to say that....perhaps the AD had an in-house watchmaker who serviced the watch.

I did not go through the AD, but, went directly to the RSC. I picked up the watch and got a letter and a warranty card about two weeks later from Rolex. I would ask where my warranty card was.

Why not place an ad in the "wanting to buy" section right here on the forums? I'll bet you will acquire these items in a flash. Although as another poster pointed out, the original box probably isn't the best place to store & remove a watch from on a regular basis.
