The watch buying "experience" can no longer be considered an "experience."

"Ordeal" or "saga" is probably closer to the truth.

Agree with this. While the cardboard is more eco friendly and comports with Rolex and their efforts at going green/conservation, I find the plastic cases to be very useful when storing or shipping a watch (e.g., for service).

I totally agree. The cardboard caskets are underwhelming. I may order a few of the plastic ones from eBay. I hope they aren’t going up in price, since being discontinured…..

The box, ne’er a coffin or casket, is useful if you need to store many watches in a small space like a bank deposit box or firesafe.

Either construction in that use case are equally suited.

I avoid the foam and plastic only because the outgassed chemicals deposit a film when the watch is enclosed for long-term storage. Not a problem - just more to clean off when recommissioning a watch.

Not letting this humble flex of using a Daytona as an example slide.

I think I’ve been given 2 or 3 coffins when purchasing? Can’t remember, but I know I didn’t ask for them
