Hello all,
I would like to try to piece together a complete set as best as possible for my 105.003-65 Ed White.

If you own a complete set, would you mind sharing with me the box and paperwork that was included (aside from the warranty card as I have an Omega Extract of Archives in process).

Are there any identifiers within the footer of the paperwork such as a revision # or something that I can look for?
I know there is a "You and Your Omega" booklet and a guarantee certificate. Not much coming up in my searches.

Any info regarding the inner and outer box would also be appreciated. Thanks!

A 1501 red box and white card outer would be correct, but they were sold for 3-4 years (from 1966-1969) and were matched to boxes by the dealers so other combinations would be valid also.

Isn't this described in Moonwatch only?
I am not sure as I do not own that book, thus why I am asking on this forum.

Thank you for that information. Any versions of "You and your omega" booklets to look out for or are they basically all the same?

Here are pics of my complete set. MWO covers this as well. Not sure if buying a box or instructions adds any value unless you have a guarantee that ties it all to your watch. I also have the original receipt from the AD but didn’t post that since would be different for every jewelry store.

No idea sorry, I only have the box. There may be a date printed discreetly on the booklet at the rear so obviously you would want that to be close to the watch age.

No problem and good luck with your search but as an FYI not sure unrelated box and papers are going to increase the value of the watch. Collectors will want something that is original to the watch.

If you aren’t concerned about increasing value, I would just search for the inner red box. They weren’t specific to Speedmasters so there are plenty of them out there so you could probably find one without too much money or searching. Other items are going to be harder to find and the search will get in expensive.

There are different sizes of red box though, which is why I specified the larger 1501. A speedy doesn’t fit the slimline boxes very well.

There are several types of boxes.
It depends on where the watch was originally sold.
