This is a very rare box apparently. I have seen perhaps 3 of these total. in your situation I would get the only one available on EBAY at the moment and the only insert that I could also find which is an aftermarket version for a President Datejust that has the red faux leather on the outside compared to the posted dimensions for both box and aftermarket insert, they do seem to match. Purchase some green faux leather online or at a local fabric store so you can match it better. Remove the Red faux leather from the insert and use it as a template for the green. liberally spray the back with 3M 777 spray adhesive and reattach. This box is the only one I have seen for sale anywhere, and I do mean anywhere. I do think it would also look much better cleaned up. As I indicated an interest in the box, they offered me and everyone else who has been watching it, a discount to $125, Same on the insert an offer of $33 and that one is free shipping. I used to build architectural models back in the day, just a thought…

Something like this but you would be better off going directly to a fabric store to try and match the color and texture of the existing green material on the interior that covers the hinge in the box and looks not to have faded like the exterior.
