Stephane Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Hi Laz, Watch out. 1680 authentic boxes are sometimes sold for as much as 400$ when auctioned on ebay. Tomy, which is one the best person for boxes told me that already. I stopped lloking for that kind of box. Crazy, like gen bracelets: way to much money. Here is some pictures of a nice "old fashioned" Rolex box set I got from Tomy. It's not accurate but looks quite old Cheers Stephane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1665fan Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 But if you are willing to spent a lot of money, the right one would be a seahorse outer box and probably a 10.00.01 inner box. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazarini Posted August 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 (edited) OK ... The info i got was this is the correct set ... i think were talking same box but ure mentioning different outerbox ... laz Edited August 4, 2007 by lazarini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1665fan Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Hi, right, the inner box with the card is the right one. The outer box depends on the year the 1680 was produced. The earlier 70s models should have a seahorse outer box, the ones from the late 70s or early 80s have the box you showed in the pics. But this is no hard rule, sometimes the dealers gave another box to the watch.... Hope this helps! Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
