Weirdly my last two have been missing, maybe there’s a wait list? Seriously though I traded one in that didn’t have it and the dealer could care less. Main green wave box and papers you’re all good man!

I would just try your AD.
I am sure they have plenty in the back.

Just make sure it's the right size.

Yellow??? White and beige is the color with which I'm familiar. There are two outer boxes, fwiw. I guess one is a sleeve if you will. These are the easiest pictures I can get at. Really the inner box and card are the most important things imho.

Should be NBD to find one. Just get your measurements straight and check on ebay. If you dont see one make it a saved search and one will find you.

OP check Ebay.

Full sets which include outer boxes, papers, etc.. always bring a higher premium despite what others say or dismiss. Look at DavidSW or Chrono24 for objective proof.

I’m missing the white sleeve also on several, Is it the yellowish one that’s more important?
I once saw a AD just tear that white one off when it was a struggle cuz it was so tight

New watches from ADs come with both the Yellow Outer Box and the flimsy white sleeve.

As the green primary watch box is contained in the Yellow Outer Box, hands down if I had to choose to it would be the Yellow over the White Sleeve.

Yellow outer box? Mine is while as well as the sleeve. Bought at WOS in Heathrow a month ago.

Ask your AD for a box. They have a bunch in the back and might just give you one, or not, but worth a try.

There is no definition for full set. For me, its green box + warranty card + watch (although some people care more about stickers and tags than the watch). If you're planning on buying/selling just state exactly what is included or ask.

My dealer was selling a watch and had an extra white sleeve and gave me one! Now I feel more complete.

I kept the removed stickers on my new purchases by having them stick to a piece of paper.
