I recently picked up a Z blue Milgauss. I’m trying to determine if the box contents are correct and complete. The warranty card shows a purchase date of June 2016 so I’m assuming the production date was either late 2015 or early 2016 if the piece didn’t sit on the shelf too long. Is anything missing and is this correct for this time frame?

how about a picture of the watch itself?

Should the warranty credit card fit in a sleeve?

Warranty card sleeve and maybe extra links, if any were removed by/for original owner.

Ok. Here's an Indonesian Seller who recently put up an advertisement in the local eBay market : a pre-owned LNIB 116400GV Blue dial Random Serial 2015 with receipt + papers ( not shown).This one came with the watch....

offrdmania · 3 March 2018, 09:34 AM

I have the watch and extra links funny guys. My watch was sold in the US. It is my understanding that the contents are different in the US compared to oversees.

Looks.good to me only if you have a fat wrist. Jk. Do you have any left overs?

RichM · 3 March 2018, 10:15 AM

The only things I can think of is the warranty card holder and bezel protector. The holder may have been the larger US cardboard type or the smaller faux leather holder.

If you want, I can show you both. I just have to open the vault.

Ive looked at box contents from both 2015 and 2016 watches and it seems to be all across the board. I must have seen 10 different combinations and all claim to be complete sets.

Ive seen some with the cardboard card holder and a gold warranty center book but then I also saw a white book. Ive also seen sets without these items so im confused.

Close enough as long as the price was right

As mentioned, you don't have a booklet sleeve or wallet (sleeve is more likely, based on sale date and location). It's not a huge deal, but technically it is something included when the watch is new. Also no bezel protector, but I don't know that that's an expectation, so much as a nicety.

It's possible the previous owner threw out the sleeve because it doesn't fit in the document compartment in the box lid. That compartment is designed to accommodate the wallet, but many US sales still include the sleeve.

Edit: Just noticed you appear not to have the Factory Service booklet.

Is the service booklet the gold cover booklet?

JacksonStone · 3 March 2018, 12:47 PM

Mine came with this (also shows the older-style sleeve):

Interestingly, the person who posted this a year ago says they're not being included anymore, but mine was included as of November 2016. I know the sleeve is being phased out for the wallet, but I have no idea about the service booklet.

RichM · 3 March 2018, 01:19 PM

Here’s my April 2016 purchase.

RollieRoll · 3 March 2018, 03:11 PM

Recently some Rolex ADs stopped providing a leather sleeve, I heard. It looks fine. Enjoy the watch

Some watches also get a green polishing cloth.

oldman2005 · 20 March 2018, 01:44 PM

I think 2016 might not have the green leather wallet, the late 2017 has the green leather wallet
