Tag Heuer Carrera CV2117 - wrong box?

[jamies30]

I bought a 40th anniversary Carrera CV2117 back in 2004 - new, from a reputable high street jeweller.

I was gathering all the bits and pieces together with a view to selling, and it looks like I might have been given the wrong box.

The watch is branded a Tag Heuer, but the box I have is a tan leather "Heuer Classic" and the pictures of the face in the manual that came with it (which I've obviously not properly looked at over the last 18 years!) shows the re-issue Heuer watch - just Heuer on the face, as opposed to the Tag Heuer which the CV2117 has.

So it looks like I got the wrong box and manual, but I wondered if anyone knew for sure - whether it should be a grey leather Tag Heuer box or a tan leather Heuer Classic box? If it's the wrong one, it's a bit annoying for me but I guess more annoying for whoever bought the Heuer Classic re-issue Carrera from them around the same time...

Thanks - I've seen a few like that.

But I also saw this one: https://omegaforums.net/threads/reduced-tag-heuer-...

...which shows the right watch:


...with the same boxes as I have:


...and it made me wonder.

In that case I think how ever it was supplied is correct.
