Where can I buy a Rolex box?

Where can I get an authentic box set?
Placing a WTB on the forum attracts scammers.
Don’t want to take a chance on eBay, too many fakes.

Someone recently posted about getting rid of boxes to make space. You should search and PM the guy.

Haha.... I was about to post the exact same thing. I saw the same ad on Nashville FB marketplace.


It’s not the right one for an Exp. II but still....for $75

What’s it a box for? Datejust or Date?

It’s for a sport model. But it’s more modern than the OPs 16570 likely is. Especially if he’s looking for a small box. It’s the typical plastic Rolex waves box From the mid 2000’s to current.

If anyone has the link to the person getting rid of boxes, please let me know.
Also, any reputable ebay sellers would like to know.
Lots and lots of fakes.

Back in the late 80's, I walked into the Rolex shop, in Bond St, London, and asked if they had a spare box I could have. They gave me one, gratis.
Worth a try, maybe. Probably have to make a 'donation', these days.

I would think you could buy from an AD or direct from Rolex any of the current boxes. You can buy more links. Makes sense, if the box was lost or misplaced.

Sure they can. One comes free with every new watch.

I miss the old days. Need a box? No problem. Want to swap an oyster bracelet for jubilee to try it out? Sure.

I did that with my first Rolex, a 16234. It came with a jubilee but I wanted to try the oyster bracelet. I went to where I bought it and asked it was possible. They swapped it out with no questions asked. I tried it for a couple of days and returned to get my jubilee back. I intended on keeping the oyster but at the time I preferred jubilee for its extra comfort.

These days I wouldn't expect them to even have a spare bracelet in stock, never mind let you swap it at no extra cost. It's this level of service that's been removed from the luxury experience. Even the best retailers are limited these days, likely by the brands themselves.
