hello guys... i just got a Black Bay few days ago in Rome , Italy. The watch is awesome, ive never had it in hands so far... I bought it in a small store in rome that deals with used/vintage watches that is located in a very respectd neighborhood, and they looked very serious guys and are in the same place for the last 10 years.. it's brand new, with the stickers , box, and papers, the card is stamped with the name of the AD that is " Blondi" , another store. they probably got it in a deal with other watch, and I bought it from them. i have a doubt about the package of it after i saw some in internet. it has the black piano box with the leather in brown inside, but the outer box instead of brown like those that i've seen in internet is black, and also the outer card instead of white is also black.... do you guys know any other one that came with those outside boxes and also the outside card box diferent? and also, the manual is only writen in italy....

best regards,
cesar

Looks correct to me. My BB came in a slightly different box but I've seen both boxes for this piece. It's an amazing piece, but I'm selling mine.

Not to hijack the thread, but Did you just get bored with it? Or something else?

Not bored with it. It's a fine watch. I'm liquidating to buy another Rolex. The Black Bay lives on.

Thanks for all the feedbacks brothers... I just got what probably happened, they also have a heritage chrono to sell, actually the two uniques brand new watches, the others were used and vintages like a patek nautilus from the 70's, some iwc's rolexes etc... And the heritage chrono has those outboxes in black as you can see in the photos below, so they probably changed with mine....

Regards,
Cesar

Awesome watch congrats! It is a beauty! Loving my BB!

My 4th black bay was delivered yesterday, the previous 3 were in the brown box like the op's, but the one I got yesterday is in a black box like the heritage chronograph. When I questioned the AD I use in Italy he told me lately he has been getting the leather black bay in the brown box and the steel black bay in the black box. Anyone know if this is correct ???

Exactly its a normal packaging box with that model, the bit that's the most important is the actual watch inside.

My BB SS came with a tan exterior box, black watch box with black leatherette interior. I've seen both for BBs. Maybe US vs EU or other Int'l regions. Who knows.

Thanks a lot for all the imputs! I really liked a lot the watch. I prefered the one with leather because I already have some rolexes in bracelet, and my sub is using a nato. So the BB on leather was like a glove in my colection!
