Rolex Watch Box Help
Hi All, I've recently purchased a Rolex Watch Box, I've compared it to my current authentic watch box and found some differences. I'm not to clued up on this sort of thing so was hoping someone here would be able to tell me if this is genuine or not.
Thanks for your help.. |

Maybe if you highlight the perceived differences it may help.

Differences:
1. Rolex emblem on outer sleeve is at least twice as bold as my genuine outer sleeve. 2. The texture of the box is different 3. Gold Rolex emblem has differences on outer box 4. Gold text on bottom of the box is not inset or in the same font as the genuine one I'm wondering if the boxes have changed over the years as i'm not familiar with the differences in boxes. |

I can only compare your photographs with the box which came with my recently purchased.
1. Yours does appear bold, but light effects may be misleading in the photograph; 2. Again, the photograph makes it difficult to assess the box texture against mine. There are no obvious differences. 3. The gold emblem on my box appears to have far more lustre. 4. The leetering on the bottom of my box is not inset. In addition, the half moon shape on the inside of my box is "negative". i.e. the place for your fingers is curved down wards whereas your is curved upwards. Hope this helps. |

Yes this looks absolutely fine...
ROLEX font correct, printing is crisp and of high quality, texture and surface of the materials are correct...there are probably detail differences that exist with the production of these boxes over the years |
