Submariner Rolex box

[Christoffer]

I've been offered a new ( not the new model, but unworn ) Submariner.

The green Rolex box is made of plastic though - I was wondering if it should be leather ?

I have two Rolex's, no Submariner, an explorer and Daytona. Both had wooden boxes covered in leather and with a padded interior. No plastic except the tags, so I would suspect this is not an original box.

Thanks.

I found it a little strang as well.

I would have thought the box would be leather but instead it was (high quality) green plastic.

I bought a none date Sub from a well known high street AD, brand new and my box is a green plastic one (comes inside cardboard box). This is the last model (i.e. not the new one) and I bought it in July 2008.

So as far as I'm concerned all is present and correct.

Yeap - bought a new DS Dweller in 2006 and it also came in a green plastic Rolex box.

I bought my wife a 2005 Rolex, not a sub but a womens model and that came in a plastic box (with a wavy top design) inside a cardboard box, as stated previosly, so all seems correct.

More importantly does the watch check out?
