Sorry for the bad pic - it’s the only one I have. Watch is getting serviced. The story involves 30 years of looking at that watch, a cruise, and some alcohol.
How do I know what box the watch should have come in? It’s a 116613lb |

Congrats! It should come in the smaller green Rolex box. Larger boxes are for PM only.

Do the numbers on the box mean anything? In my drunken stupor he showed me the watch and the papers and I asked if he had the box. He said no. I left. Then he magically found the box.
And no - no smash - watch is perfect. Purchased in Hong Kong in 2015. Just wanted to get it serviced. 4-6 weeks and $1100. |

Thanks guys
It is legit - at the AD now getting serviced and they said at $14,000 (with no taxes) I got a good deal - not sure if we are supposed to disclose prices. And they through in an extra link. As far as boxes - watched a ton of unboxing videos from 2015 and the small box without the folding front is correct. I have a green hang tag and a lot of the ones opened have a brown/red tag. |
