Couple of data points dont make it empirically true.

Piece of crap. The box also sticks together.

I don't mind. It takes up less closet space than my pam box.

The Rolex box is pathetic and is of the quality I would expect from a watch won it a claw machine at Perkins. It is the first thing I noticed when I had my first experience with my Rolex and it does effect my opinion of the brand. I have two hundred dollar watches from the nineties that came in equivalent packaging. No I don't use it much but it is a slap in the face considering their obese margins. I predict a moderately higher quality box in the near future. It's a no brainer.
