Sorry for the bad pic - it’s the only one I have. Watch is getting serviced. The story involves 30 years of looking at that watch, a cruise, and some alcohol.

How do I know what box the watch should have come in?

It’s a 116613lb

Congrats! It should come in the smaller green Rolex box. Larger boxes are for PM only.

So you got a new watch and smashed it right away?

Do the numbers on the box mean anything? In my drunken stupor he showed me the watch and the papers and I asked if he had the box. He said no. I left. Then he magically found the box.

And no - no smash - watch is perfect. Purchased in Hong Kong in 2015. Just wanted to get it serviced. 4-6 weeks and $1100.

Always buy a Rolex drunk, regret it afterwards…
Hello and welcome ..

Thanks guys

It is legit - at the AD now getting serviced and they said at $14,000 (with no taxes) I got a good deal - not sure if we are supposed to disclose prices. And they through in an extra link.

As far as boxes - watched a ton of unboxing videos from 2015 and the small box without the folding front is correct. I have a green hang tag and a lot of the ones opened have a brown/red tag.
