Correct box for 1680 Red
Hello
I was wondering if any of the experts new the correct box for my watch. It's a Mark V Red from about 1972 serial 306xxxx. Thanks as always! |

No right answer to the question. A few boxes were used during that period. Also sets were constructed and deconstructed at the AD and differed from region to region. Either of these would do just fine.

The seahorse or green-stripe boxes are the two that I am most familiar with from that era.

I went through a phase where i collected boxes and ephemera but i realized a little too late that you cant put a box on your wrist. When i realized i had the equivalent of a nice vintage rolex in boxes and calendars....i started to cull my collection. |
