Watch Check - Rolex 16030

Hi All:

I'm interested to see if anything looks out of place on this Rolex Datejust from the 80's. These are the only pictures, so mostly concerned about any comments on the boxes. I know better pictures of the watch are necessary. I may be seeing it later today. Right now, any concerns about the boxes?

Thanks

Cool info
You never fail to amaze me

From the internet

The box you are asking about is a Bufkor, USA made, box and was used during the late 1970's until around 1980 when a new style Bufkor box replaced it. It is not counterfeit and additionally, I have never seen this box counterfeited.

Thanks for the comments crowncollection. In researching Bufkor boxes, it appears there are "larger scale" and "finer scale" box types - depending on time period.

From my photos, it appears there may be a large scale inner box and a finer scale outer box.

I won't know until I see in in person.

Thanks for the comments.
