Is this box legit?
Afternoon folks,
I am trying to determine if the attached ebay listing is for a genuine Rolex box? I have heard even these are faked now. What do people think? I have too few posts to post a link. /itm/Rolex-box-68-00-02-/254977936952?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286 I don’t seem to be able to post any other images due to forum limits… The box is designated as: 68.00.02 Best, James |

Hi James, It looks fake to me. My 2002 16710 came in a similar box new but I don't remember there being a coronet on the internal cover. Also, it looks like they have used alcantara whereas the original box uses a more rust coloured velour. I hope that helps.

Looks ok, much crisper than the fakes.

If it is Alcantara as suggested, it is actually a step up in terms of material but not period correct. |

This is the pillow type interior, which came before the c-clip watch holder.

Thanks for the responses.
The ROLEX text spacing looks a little off to me, which is why I asked. I know there are probably many minor variations on these boxes, but good to get some other opinions. |
