    I am sorry for the silly question but can you buy just the box? Like can I buy a box for my new-to-me Seamaster? right now all the watches live in a case on pillows...well most live there.... is the box better?

    Wow, just wow this is an outstanding collection. Let alone with the watches. Sometimes the line between passion and obsession gets very thin ;-)

    No, I don´t think so - the boxes on offer are already repaired, restored, after they have been broken at the hinges... it is described and shown in the item description.

    Well, this is my understanding of his listings.
    He listed a complete box for a bin of $115 that was in pretty good shape with the original insert, showed photos and said this is the actual box you are considering and indicated another available.
    Someone:whistling: negotiated a fair price and the sale was made.
    After that listing ended, he then listed the very similar box #2 that had a repaired hinge area and unoriginal insert for a bin of $80, I believe.
    He also has a bottom half with unoriginal insert that he is asking $40 for.

    I have a friend that coached hockey (including the NHL here) around the world and he says the buyer :whistling: has about a 40% chance of it making it here as agreed.
    Seller doesn't seem too bad but the buyer should wear a double rubber (American term that may not translate, loosely means double protection).
    Buyer doesn't like to jinx transactions until complete, but we should here more of this story in a few weeks.
