Correct Box for the Explorer I 40mm
I have recently acquired an Explorer 40mm from my recent trip to Spain however, the box that I received is large which I'm sure is not the correct one for my watch, and I would want to know what is the correct Box for this model.
All my other SS sport watches (Sub, BatGirl ...etc) which I purchased from my local AD, all came in the small Rolex Box, however I've been searching on line and I'm sort of confused as they seem to come with mid size Box. I know boxes are not that important to many but I like to keep all my watches orginal and full set. Thanks |

Well in general all the SS models came in the small boxes but now most SS come in med size boxes, watches like the DSSD mostly come in large boxes.But boxes are shipped separately from the watches so in many cases the box you got was whatever the AD has on his shelves at point of sale.Boxes are made in several parts of the world,so the box numbers could be different depending on what part of the world sold.

If you post a couple of pictures of the box you got, including one with the numbers on the underside, some here could help.
Especially if they also purchased from Spain like you did. But others could share what box they got. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I hope these pictures help. Also, the box did not come with the white sleeve cardboard.
Also, is there any idea what is the best place to get an authentic box. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sent from my SM-S928B using Tapatalk |

I got my explorer 1 in a M box, which I thought was actually for pm watches only. But since they’re giving, I thought why not?

Some of the Explorer 39mm watches shipped with OYSTER S white hangtags back in the day. While others had OYSTER M white hangtags. I believe it was year dependent. 39137.XX is the correct small box 39139.XX is the correct medium box 39141.XX is the correct large box 39143.XX is what I would guess an extra large box to be based on the naming convention. Again, that may not exist or be right. I've seen some boxes with .XXXX behind the base 5 digit box number on medium boxes. From 2005ish (or whenever Rolex started using them) the cardboard sleeves had no print on them. Around 2015ish the white cardboard sleeves had at least the 5 digit base box number. I think by 2018-2019 those sleeves also had the .XX or .XXXX designation on them along with the 5 digit base box number. My 2017 Deepsea just has the 5 digit base box number on it and looks like OYSTER L SAP 39141 I doubt the Explorer 40mm came with an OYSTER L white hagtag, but others will have to share on that front. I wish you well and hope this helps.

Not entirely sure but you shouldn’t have small boxes for your other watches. I have 2 brand new 36 mm Rolexes, an OP and a Datejust, that both have M size boxes, which is marked on the white hang tags and the outer box sleeves. You ask where you can get authentic boxes. You have them. It’s how your watches came, so I would not worry about it. Kat Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Rolex doesn’t make a “small” box currently. The small is called “medium”. I know - confusing.
Anyway, you definitely got a large box! Nice! I’d just sell it, honestly. They go for good money ;) Who needs a box. The value is in the watch + card

Forget about box size a box is just a box nothing more, and the Rolex boxes are not the best in the watch world. The small box have been mainly being stopped being issued, but still some around. SS models today mostly come in the med size boxes, watches like the DSSD mostly come in the larger boxes. As for the white tags there were mainly for Rolex factory and AD administration purposes and not all ADs give them its just a bit of plastic.

The only box that I thought was interesting was the huge one that came with the Platinum Daytona.

That looks to be the same size box I got with my one (UK, Goldsmiths). I did receive the sleeve and the tag, though
