GMT Master 16752

I am negotiating a purchase of a 16753 TT Root Beer that has hang tags and papers but no box. Can any members show a picture of a proper inner and outer box set for this GMT, the serial and paper date it to 1979. Any help will be appreciated.

The boxes are based on where the watch was sold. Watches sold in the USA used Bufkor boxes and boxes outside the USA would be the moonscape box set with the slotted inner watch card.

Thanks for the info. The deal fell apart. The watch was unworn with tags and papers put in a safe deposit box and forgot about. The original box did not fit in the safe deposit box and was not located. It was a very cool watch, it will probably turn up on eBay or in an auction house
