Well, when I was buying Moonwatch online the box looked like a good idea.
But now I'm planning to sell the box and it's contents, because I don't need it, but does anyone really want to buy it...?

Yes, you'll see some pop up and sell on eBay occasionally.

The Loctite is required on Rolex screws or they will back themselves out. Omega don't require it because the design is different.

What screws are you referring to? If it's bracelet screws, then Omega certainly does use it on those...

I paid for my right to bitch Bradley. A complaint about a box is not something I would call bitching but whatever. Bunch of disrespectful simpletons.


Chill out man I'm just messing with you.
Don't take things too seriously on the internet.
Guess I should have thrown a smiley face emoji in there had I known you would be so sensitive.

I quite like the box, it's daft.
It will also be one of those things I look forward to pulling out in 20 odd years, in my post brexit cave, and can use as a seat.
Or show the children how fancy society was back then.

Not sure he's coming back to fill his prescription, Doc.

I'm pretty sure we've had this conversation before. Yes, Omega has Loctite on them from the factory but they are not as crucial as on a Rolex since Omega screws act as caps while the pins take all the stress. On Rolex, there's constant stress on the screw itself to back out unless it has the Loctite.

I hear sellers say they "misplaced the box" when the watch is for sale. Good luck misplacing this one.

When I bought my AT while on vacation earlier this year, I was shocked at the size of the box. I was expecting a small cube shaped box and couldn't believe it when the AD pulled out the large box. It's a good thing I had my golf bag with me to put my dirty laundry into, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to fit it in my luggage.

I don't claim I misplaced the box if I'm selling the watch later.

I chuck 'em, unless they can be "repurposed", like the two Hamilton boxes that have been gutted to hold tools, or the Longines box, similarly gutted to hold straps. If I can't find a use for them, they go. Yup. crazy I know, but I'll be damned if I'm going to keep the packaging in case it enhances the value of something later.

But then, I don't buy a watch just because some movie personality is paid to wear one or its name appears on a GT or F1 car.

Ahhh...burek. I remember walking into a bakery in Zagreb in the mornings back in 1993 and eating warm burek wrapped in newspaper.
