    Then my latest seller should qualify for a Silver at least.

    Not only was the container rather amusing, it was fit for purpose (that purpose being to defeat the combined efforts of Philippine Post and Australia Post to damage the item).

    The watch was protected against water ingress, radiation and who knows what else, and suspended against shock and awe.

    I wish they were all as good.

    That's actually not a bad idea :D. Last week I sent a crystal replacement to my watchmaker inside a used candy tin package like this....

    It would have gotten gold if the entire container was filled with bubble wrap so the watch didn't bang around inside.

    Looks like it was taped securely. ;)

    Good move in that case. I once had a watch sent to me in a snuff container. Empty luckily...besides the watch of course
