rolex supplied in sealed box

[Divingdud]

The attached image shows the sealed plastic box in which my 116520 was supplied. This is how I shall always in future insist my order for a new watch will be supplied to me. DSC00792.jpg

Nice, a $5 plastic shipping box.

I have a few of those myself. :)

[wjgoretsky]

That's how I received mine too.





It's a great compact storage box for the vault.


Sent from the Internet.

[bswanson]

Was thinking about ordering a few of these for travel purposes.

[Lgear080]

How was it sealed? Did you get a regular box, papers and collateral?

[btinl]

This is how I receive my watches from the AD.

[airchitect]

Always ask for them this way, from the vault, no display pieces for this kid.

[Chris B]

Tis only a box for shipping



Sometimes you get this type







Sometimes this








Sometimes that ... I prefer the "that"

Yes, the AD supplied the plastic registration card also the outer and inner 'tall version' green box.
I have posted the pic of the plastic box, having read the interesting recent thread;-"i think i saw a fake BLNR at an AD" all rolex models are now an expensive purchase, so why not have the pleasure of a future ordered watch being in a factory sealed box?

Yet another reason why I always order my Rolex watches...

[wisguy]

Those a re great to store watches in a safe, although I have sold all the Rolex I once owned I kept those boxes and still them.

[henry333]

Thought they just ship it like that ... Don't know how sealed it is.
Could be from rolex , could be just from one AD to another

Totally agree mate - just picked up my SS Daytona in the plastic shipping box (full-size box and goodies included of course), but there's just something about the shipping case that appeals to me....plus, it makes it easier to store my watches in my safe!!

[luvchnl]

I had a watch ordered in at Ben Bridges and asked for the coffin box, they did not give it to me

[Psmith]

These are just the shipping boxes ('coffins'). I would still inspect a watch closely before accepting it.

[ratty]

The only down side to this I can think of is that the AD can not check the watch before you see it. I like to take my watches out of these sealed boxes at the AD but it is interesting to see the AD's face when I open the box in case there is a problem.

Well ok, good to know.

It's nice for receiving a brand new watch from far away lands, but there are a lot better options for carrying a Rolex, I myself would easily prefer an Oakley, but there are many others.

[Tyl3r]

That is far from sealed. Sorry, there is no way of knowing if the coffin was opened prior to purchase. Every watch I have purchased came in one of those. That is how they are stored for shipment.

Correct; they are shipping boxes which just snap shut. My last 2 new watches came out of the AD's safe in these boxes. They had been opened to log into their inventory because the watches had the AD's inventory tag on them. One was put back into the box backwards. I guess you are receiving a watch that most likely hasn't been in the display case if you get one in the shipping box.

As for the box itself, each time I visit the AD they give me a bag with several of these just to get rid of them. They are great for storage or for sending a watch out for service.

Here's another box used for postage.

[badass09]

That's how rolex ship their watches.. and they pack them in very discreet cartons with no markings at all in large quantities of course..

[wolffram]

Lol...

[fania123]

Now that looks like a lot of fun!

Man got a bunch of those. I have my AD let me open it and inspect the new watch, only way I like to do it

Tom, I've been meaning to ask my AD for one of those watch coffins. Is there anything on the container that identifies it as a Rolex item, lettering, logo, etc?
I mean the plastic part, not the Styrofoam.

Nothing identifies the plastic case as belonging to a Rolex watch. Each side on the interior has a slot in the foam that accepts the tags (red and green) and there are tabs on the outside of the case that the warranty card snaps into -- that is it. The white foam is not typical Styrofoam; it's a pliable like rubberized foam that can give and not break and it is designed with chamfered corners that match the shape of the plastic case so it only goes in one way.

[dcash0615]

Nothing. No Rolex identification markings on the plastic coffins.
