Vintage Rolex Box Question

What is everyone's opinion as to the value of this box??

I know it is incorrect for my 1803, but it should do until I can find the correct box.

Just want to make sure I don't overpay.

Thanks
Tony

Depends on the willingness of seller and buyer, but in the UK they are readily available and a broad range would be £50 - £100.

Beware the C-clip coming out of the flat base. With poor handling it can, as it is held in place by only a sharp metal "spear" and once out is never happily re-fixed quite the same.

With kind regards,

It's not even close to vintage, though. This type of box, with the C clip insert, was available from about 2000 to 2005.

As you are in the USA a Bufkor box would at least be more age-appropriate and not that hard to find. A bit more expensive though.

Depends on the year of your watch of course and dealers then gave out whatever, the one I show is generally accepted as correct

What year is your watch and are you looking at boxes used in the USA or outside the USA?
