·I watched this with interest as it kept going higher and higher. I am resigned to never having one of these for my watch! Must be a rare bird. $2023USD
When the box is worth nearly as much as the watch

·When I got my flighty new it didn’t come with one of those, it came with a plain white Omega outer shipper, and of course the amazing disintegrating red Omega watch box.

·People bought the watches to wear. Not to store in a safe for later sales. Boxes tossed. It was the rare person that saved everything.
customer of a friend did that. Got toys or whatever for Birthdays. He saved it. Never played with anything. Opened a vintage Toy Story store selling stuff he amassed over the years

·I have put random stuff on ebay for high prices. Sometimes people will pay, most of the time they do not. What does happen is people offer me less, and I take it (not always, but usually). Sometimes people send me messages to complain about the price. I block those people.

·Being owner of some of these boxes I would say that there are some features that make them difficult to be counterfeit.

·It would be difficult to counterfeit the deteriorated, dilapidated, decrepit, decayed, derelict state of the original item.
I have a special drawer that is magic for producing that effect...

·from my own journey all this box and paper nonsense is just to squeeze out the last penny from a buyer. and 90% of the offers are completely assembled sets. i will not pay a cent more for a b and p set as for the naked watch. happy that i got rid of all that useless drawer fillers i had

·This dealer grabs all the cheap ones: https://ticctacc.com/
I regret not buying one of these when someone listed 2 of them, one of them would be fun to have:
Couple days later they were marked up 20x ish by this dealer
Don't get me wrong, I'm purely jealous, I'd do the same if I could

These box are quite common in Italy, they were made by the italian agent during mid 70 till 80 only for Italian market. Dealers had to pay extra money to get these special boxes and not all were likely to do it.
Also someone in the past really bought the speedmaster soyouz with this box so people now think that any soyouz came with it. Long story short: watches were sold with any box available in the shop.
Me personally acquired many NOS watches with this kind of box. Not a soyouz unfortunately

also consider that there are different sizes of these boxes, they look the same from outside but they aren’t.
