What box?

So, what would be the correct box for a 1970s Datejust?

If priced right, I may be looking for an original correct box for my watch, but I have no idea what would be the right one?? There are so many options out there that I feel kind of overwhelmed and don't know how to tell.

Anyone got anything on this?

I may also be looking for one for my 1961 Oyster Perpetual as well.

Thanks for reading!

1976 to 1980/81would be a Bufkor first edition of that box. This would be for a watch sold in the USA.

Do you have photos of the box by chance?

My watch was sold in the US probably in 77. It's a very late 76 production. So you are probably right about the box. I just don't know what a Bufkor box looks like - forgive my ignorance.

If you try google, a lot of photos pop right up of these boxes.

You might also find some good references online, like this one: https://rolexhaven.com/boxes.html
