Could these boxes be authentic?

The pictures look great.
Seller had approx 300 for sale, 8 are left.
So someone had to have bought the watch and sold/given the box to this seller 300 times?

I am amazed that someone could have 300 empty boxes to sell.
I looked at the pics with detail, and they do look exactly like my box.

They look good. Someone probably builds them for Omega (doubt they are built by Omega) so possible seller bought a batch from supplier

Hazarding a guess that the eBay seller has a connection to the subcontractor for SWATCH that makes Omega boxes.

Likely from the description that they are "authentic" in context to the box maker's contract to produce them with branded TMs. But also possible this was a batch that failed QC acceptance due to some aberration.

I would be surprised if the manufacturer of the box for Omega would be able to sell the box to a third party. I would think it is an exclusive for Omega.
