sometimes i do wish that rolex would improve their packaging and boxes...but i know for sure if they do that, they will pass the cost on to you and me......

in my opinion, i think its rather a pitty that rolex packaging is not as nice as lets say cartier, panerai or few other brands out there....
i trully love my yacht master....but rolex can do a way better job at designing the packaging...

by the way jocke....is that a yacht master 16622 plat/ss in the plastic wrapper ?

How the heck did you know that was a YM in there?!

Some of the other watch companies have very very nice Packaging:

Ulysse Nardin
Panerai
GP
and the nicest I have seen (they even throw in a wooden finished Loupe) is Glashutte Original.

i have the pleasure of owning this plat/ss aka rolesium yacht master

chose this model because i took in consideration that my next rolex is most probably going to be a TT GMT II the new model with ceramic bezel...

i've just taken this shot with my mobile phone....so im sorry if it isnt up to scratch in comparison to all the wonderful wrist shot in this forum....

yours is the same kansaivet?
