    Evening all,
    Can anyone tell me if this box would be suitable for a 1960 Seamaster 300 2913-8??

    15 years ago you probably could have bought the watch for a bit more! :taunt:

    Your box is a speedy box

    @SgWatchBaron showed the correct boxes.
    The box from masterofspeed is missing the inlay

    IMO it's more likely that your 2913 came with the first "trilogy" box (left below), which was used at least for the first 2913, 2914 and 2915's.
    I have seen that one with original watches and papers, at least up to around 1960/61+ productions. The flat inlay seamaster box mentioned above (below in the middle), was most likely used with the 14755 and early 165014's (1961 to around 1964 production), where after the "normal" square red box was used on 165014's and 16x.024's (along with the speedmasters) properly at least up to the late 60'ies.
    Of course you can find other boxes used and no strict rules can be applied since it depends on when the watch was sold from the AD and what box he chose from his stock. The boxes didn't necessarily follow the "correct" watch when delivered from Bienne, just like bracelets.

    But then again, it's just a box :rolleyes:

    Link to that?
    Seems very high for a flat inlay seamaster box and more in line with the price for a trilogy box ?!?
