126660 d Blue concerns

I’ve been trying to buy a D Blue 126660 and deals keep going sideways on me.

They are either beaten to death, or the latest is that the box is an “M” Oyster box which I’m pretty certain every other boxed set for a 2019 model has the “L” (large) box.

Am I mistaken?
Edit - forgot the important info that the pics might as well have been taken from the moon they are so blurry and impossible to make out.
Requested pic of the hang tag to see if that “M” is on there to match the box to rule out something more suspicious...

Thank you

Disregard. Asked and answered!

Seller called and I asked him what does the hangtag say - it says “L” and has a “M” box.
Nope.

Punched out.

Lesson for the next guy

126660 d Blue concerns

When I bought mine, they asked me at the boutique which box size I prefer, I picked medium.
So if I were in your shoes now, the least concern would be box size.
The SD range is not hard to find new from AD so go for that route. Buy new.

Mine came in a medium box from the AD.

Do your hang tags say “L” for the large box tho.

Also, the box was the final straw.
3 owners inside 12 months while under warranty is what killed this deal. The box just nailed it shut.

The boxes are mixed up all the time. A large majority of grey market watches are separated from the boxes at some point.

It’s common practice for watches to be locked up in safes and boxes mixed up, that does not mean it’s not genuine.

Get a nice example, but throw the box in the closet
You can't wear it.

Any idea why the watch had three owners in a year? That seems a little odd.
