Have you ever bought a watch and did not receive the proper box?
It has happened to me twice: JLC Geophysique and Omega Speedmaster.
The JLC boutique quickly provided the presentation box after I asked for it. You may remember that thread last year when many doubters said I would never get it. I bought the Speedmaster from an AD about ten years ago. A boutique worker recently asked if I received a presentation box. I did not. I got a small red box. If you never bought a certain type of watch, how would you know what its box would look like? |

Before purchasing any watch, I always do a thorough research on all watch forums, scanning photographs and watching unboxing videos.For example, the Seiko Diver SLA 017 62Mas Reissue has 2 types of presentation boxes: One for a boutique in Frankfurt, Germany and another for the rest of the world...
Edit: Some Swiss, Japanese and German brands have barcode stickers on the outer box |

That is some box for the Seiko. Interesting point on the Omega.

Was originally given the wrong box with my Bell & Ross. AD swapped it out for me the next day when I brought it to their attention.

Heard that for seiko, german releases have better presentation boxes.
The sla017 pictured above. The sla025 has a dive knife. The sla033 has a flashlight. Curious why germany is treated much better than rest of the world. |

Most grey market sellers do not send a box.

This memorigin box is also nice. Doubles as a winder. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
