rolex box identification
first off, it's been three years since i've been active in watches, and having to relearn a lot i knew,
a seller has offered me the two boxes below, indicating they are for subs from the 60s & 70s appreciate if someone can confirm and maybe identify the exact years tks in advance box 1 has been represented as from the 60s next one is supposed to be from early 70s |

in case this helps jog folks memories
so far i have been collecting / reviewing / saving all ad listings from reputable dealers offering vintage rolexs displayed with their respective boxes
while the dealers are reputable, their descriptions never really state "original" box, just "box & papers", so i can't be certain the box displayed isn't one the dealer combined with the watch after he received it. for the record, figured i would add a shot of the interior of my inbound boxes - both are identical and this interior shot below, from one reputable dealer's sales listing, seems to confirm a similiar box was used for the 1968 5513 rolex sub below shot taken from a rome dealer's web. But there are no shots of the box's lid. And from what i've "gathered" so far, it appears the same box was used throughout the 70s and into the 80s, with the text "rolex" added to the bottom right corner of the lid's underside, sometime in the mid 70s, as in the photo below. But this observation is only from viewing dealers' sale photos, no real authentication. |
