    Two sizes of this box, if its the large one then a range of 'mid range' omegas; seamster, deville etc... it was a generic type box so not for a specific watch but supplied with many, usual on leather straps. Date late 1960's and early 1970's

    Best wishes Tom

    Not to hijack the thread @Raymondo5508 but I’m curious what a box for the Speedmaster 105.012-65 would have looked like. Or any Speedy boxes from that era. If anyone has any photos I’d greatly appreciate it.

    Not a necessity with all the modern watch boxes/cases out there, but it would be cool to have:)

    What do you guys deem a reasonable price to pay for these boxes?

    Wasn't that a standard 1501 box? I have one here and can post some picture later if you like.

    My 1964 Ed White came in the 1501 box. Here are a couple of pictures pulled from the web. Additionally, have a look at THIS thread.

    Hi,
    One thing I did forget to do is give the measurements and size of the box. It is 140mm long 54mm wide and 27mm high. It is relatively small but mint condition.
    Cheers Russell.
