Rolex 1993 date just 69713 non diamond gold/silver

Hello, I bought the above watch with the paperwork but no box.

My question is I have looked for a box but there seems to be a red and a green box, is there a difference between which one my watch should have?

Does anyone have one for sale?

Someone who has a dj from around your year should help. If not look on ebay search your watch and see what boxes are shown in the ads.

Mon covered the gender side of your box question.

Now let’s tackle getting the right one.

Be careful, many loose boxes on eBay and other websites are fake.

Next, read your papers to discover what country code was assigned to that watch.

If you want the most authentic and correct box, you might narrow your search to boxes that the distributor for your DJ’s country of origin were using in that era.

Otherwise, you could skip the box altogether - I know when I have acquired a watch without a box, or papers, or both, that the watch kept time just as well without that collateral cluttering up a cabinet.
