I recently purchased the GMT batman and I think I received the wrong box. The AD gave me the small box that I see the Submariner is in on some youtube videos.

HL65 · 1 January 2017, 06:37 AM

Small box

Gazza67 · 1 January 2017, 06:56 AM

Mine came in a medium box, but I believe it varies from shop to shop.

HL65 · 1 January 2017, 07:08 AM

The correct box as specified from Rolex is small. Could an AD give medium if they want to? Sure.

MrGMT · 1 January 2017, 07:08 AM

My ss GMT came is small box tt came in larger box

THC · 1 January 2017, 07:11 AM

Small box = SS
Medium box= TT
Large box= PM

kromdom · 1 January 2017, 07:17 AM

your watch left the factory in a plastic shipping coffin. hence, there is no correct box per se

what the dealer grabbed from what was available when you bought the watch = the box you got .

CLTRolex · 1 January 2017, 07:23 AM

Rolex box

amg55 · 1 January 2017, 08:15 AM

It's whatever box your AD has out in the back room :) There's no right or wrong.

Boaters · 1 January 2017, 08:30 AM

Don't know it just sits up on a shelf way in the back

swils8610 · 1 January 2017, 09:09 AM

Generally speaking small but it depends on what box the AD puts it in.

Yes, small box. I asked the question last week. Rolex said Oyster S box which is the small box.

Watchgeek5000 · 1 January 2017, 09:12 AM

Yes, once you spend over $10,000 they'll give you a box that the paperwork actually fits into! Rolex isn't known for their boxes.

watchwatcher · 1 January 2017, 11:23 AM

Yeah...and the small box is aptly named, IMO.

Vladnyc · 1 January 2017, 12:59 PM

Thanks everyone! And yes the paperwork does not fit in the small box :)

Yes, this is what I know.

tomallen · 2 January 2017, 06:58 AM

I asked for the big box and got the big box

Sublover2166 · 2 January 2017, 08:00 AM

The Platona comes with it's own designated box. It is bigger than any of the others.

ap1 · 2 January 2017, 08:10 AM

228206 came in a large one for sure. Wonder if it's same as platona

GradyPhilpott · 2 January 2017, 10:22 AM

I'm pretty sure that my BLNR came in a larger box than my previous Rolex watches.

I'll check next time I'm at my storage locker which will be tomorrow.

When talking about the SS watches one thing is for sure there is no real correct boxes for the SS models you will get whatever the AD has in store at point of sale.As for the numbers on the box well they are made in many parts of the world. So say a small box for say a sub bought in the USA.And a small box with a sub bought in say Europe could have totally different box numbers.Now the DSSD mostly comes in the larger green box but this is not always the case one thing is for sure you will get one of either of these.

Steve36Efc · 3 January 2017, 01:24 AM

My BLNR came in a medium size box and my Subs in small.

donut · 3 January 2017, 02:53 AM

I have two BLNR in my collection.
One's been purchased in Thailand, another one from Switzerland.
Both of them come with small-size box.

Loevhagen · 3 January 2017, 02:56 AM

It's often wise to think outside the box.

JasH · 3 January 2017, 03:33 AM

My BLNR came in a medium box. Same as my TT Daytona.

rodneygt3 · 3 January 2017, 06:03 AM

It sounds like the AD can pick any box. When I called Rolex they specifically said BLNR comes in small box.
