Hey all. Planning a meet up to purchase an AT and I requested some additional pics beforehand. Everything looked ok to me but I’ve never seen the white box with the QR code before. Anyone have any info on that?

Would need better pics of the watch to know.

With respect to the small watch box, I know this for certain: when Omega ships watches to an AD they come in a smaller box with the cards. The watch itself is married up with the large box and manual at the point of sale. The ones I've seen before (3-4 years ago) were plastic but perhaps they've switched to what you see here. These are not normally given to the customer but I think most would hand it over if requested by the customer.

I should have mentioned that what made me wary initially was when I tried to research that box, I got a lot of Instagram posts about fakes that are shipped that way.

Cardboard box is how Omega's are shipped instead of the plastic coffin

Everything looks legit. If that shipping box has the watch’s serial number on it (I see the ref number is there) it could actually be neat to have it included in the package if you ever go to sell the watch. Not saying it’d add a ton of value or anything, but it definitely ups the ante on the idea of a “complete set.”

IMO that’s just about as perfect as a wristwatch gets. Goes with a tux, goes with shorts. You can swim with it. Perfect size, most comfortable bracelet Omega makes, and I doubt it will ever appear to be dated.

The photos are not great (lacks sharpness) but I don't see any red flags.

Most boutiques don't give you that little box. I only have one from the three I bought there new.
