Here is the correct box. It is referred to as the moonscape or crater box with a slotted card to hold the watch in place. The boxes below are for an early 1980s GMT 16750 and 16800 Submariner which utilized the same box. As a footnote, some of these boxes contained a small opening on the upper box lid that held a passport holder. This box is for watches sold outside the USA.
