·I'd be pretty pissed off if eBay stole my box, but furious if they stole the original warranty card and/or receipt.

·Does anybody have an older red box. EBay got back to me and pulled out the inner and showed me it’s construction with card. Can anybody compare with an original they may have please?
thanks

·Ok. This one has a green colour backed card. Looks a little odd, as I do not have an older style box….guess it’s plausible.

·Even if they think it’s non original, I’m surprised it’s their policy to withhold it from the sale. Seems like you bought it, you should be able to keep it if you want

·That is consistent with what I had. I thought the green would be darker.

·It's exactly the same as all the other boxes. Who cares what color the cardboard is?!

·So
I got the watch in the end. Everything is good, pleased with everything so far, and the box is original. One last piece of advice, on one of the lugs, it looks like there’s been a small knock and made a small indent. Now it is 22 years old so I expected some honest usage. Do you think I’m being too fussy. See pic below.

·M Matty1Do you think I’m being too fussy.
take off your eye-glasses, stumble around your house or office until you have clipped it against a couple of door frames, tables, filing cabinets or whatever you can find [*]. Now it's really yours and you can wear it from now on without fear.
[*] FTAOD I'd avoid doing this in a machine shop or on a construction site.

do you think it’s something that can be sorted on it’s next service?

·Just send it to Nesbit's or Omega factory service and it will come back looking new.
