Photos of Vintage Rolexes in Box
I thought that this would be a fun topic. Here are my 1675 GMT Master from 1971 and my WG 1803 Day-Date from 1977 in their boxes. Anyone else have similar photos of their vintage Rolexes?

Within a set period e.g. 1970s, were the boxes different between different models? Would the Datejust have a different box vs the GMT or Sub?

Love this! Looking at these photo's makes me wonder why you would ever buy a watch without the original box and papers. Having the complete kit really adds to the pleasure of owning these watches.

Never managed to find a photo of the first watch in the box (since sold)...but a cool box nevertheless.
