Here is the new addition to my collection. They promised me a 15202ST for my next purchase, strangely said they won't take a deposit from me until January 1st. They will only presale watches they know are coming in and won't have access to that until next year--that's probably a good thing.

Is that the only box or did it come with a fancier one?
 
it definitely came with a fancier box, thats probaly like the rolex coffin(pic below), its how the watches arrives from manufacturers and service and its actually nice when it comes in that, you just knew it was "fresh" :lol:

It included the green wooden box, but as rfx45 rfx45 mentioned, this was the case used for transit. I actually asked if i could keep the coffin case but they told me they recycle them for when a client needs to send a watch to service and such.

You don't want to see how Lange watches arrive then :lol:
 
All that paper and Lange got the nerve to come cheap with the package ?

Nah. They just come sealed in plastic like Patek and in a plain, well-made brown cardboard box with the corresponding labels. The presentation box is very nice and adequately compact. You get your money's worth with the watch. :smokin

In terms of over the top appeal of presentation boxes, Omega still has everyone beat. They just take too much damn storage space. :smh: They arrive in plastic coffins as well.

Patek has to have the nicest-quality "standard" presentation box though. Still quite massive. The certificate and booklets make you feel like it's more of a car purchase. :lol:

The absolute worst is if you've seen how Seikos come in. The cardboard is thinner than the ones used for boxes of underwear. :lol: Grand Seiko is another story (coffin). Nice presentation box with fancy paper. Very Japanese.
