[dchang81]

is there any way to get a replacement cardboard outer box? been trolling ebay but its usually for the whole set with the ebony box for $$$. bugs me that somehow lost one of mine.

Have you tried asking your AD if they have any spares?

I don't know the practice in the US, but in Hong Kong my AD tells me most clients who don't live locally (e.g. tourists from Mainland China) don't want the outer brown cardboard box because it's big and bulky, so they throw out many of them each week.

Obviously now with Covid, all ADs around the world are selling less watches and would have less spare boxes, but if you have a good relationship with your AD I'm sure they can save one for you.

Try to reach out to the grey dealers on this forum. They have a stockpile of these loose accessories.

good call on greys. not sure if there are variations of them, but all the ones i've gotten in the past 5 years have been the exact same. several that people are selling all look different than mine, with variations of the pull tab or bottom slot.
