Does anyone know where I can source the newer Rolex boxes with the ridge tops. I need 4 of them.

Agreed on eBay but LOL people are PROUD of them based on the prices. Be sitting down. LOL

And we are all probably wondering how you lost your four boxes you are replacing? Guessing you own 4 watches?

A word of warning - there appears to be the inevitable Chinese infiltration into the Rolex box scene, especially on ebay and etsy. They’re pretty easy to spot though since they have X amount available or they have like 10 ads showing the exact same photo. It’s probably better to buy a used one with some scuffs etc, since it’s probably genuine, since the counterfeiters don’t sell used fakes

To seemingly have a better chance at selling my collection. Folk seem fixated as to whether you have boxes or not... which I should have realised when buying.

I'm having a hard time believing that anyone would buy not one, not two, not three, but four Rolex without a box. Very suspicious.

I'd be more worried about having the authentic papers with the watches to make sure they are legit .....

Although, to me, RSC service papers and box are almost just as good.

Rolex boxes come in multiple sizes based on the watch purchased. Small for watches like DJ, Milgauss, etc. Medium for watches like SS Daytona, Submariner, GMT Master II. Large for watches like DSSD and gold Daytona. Extra Large for watches like Platinum Daytona, Platinum DayDate 40.

If you are trying to get boxes for your watches, assuming you still have your paperwork, the white label tags will have the box size specified like S for small or M for medium, etc.

Sell without boxes. An honest add saying they were tossed years ago would go further.

"EDIT:
NVRMND just saw you bought them without.

I've bought more than that without a box over the years.

Lots of fake boxes out there. You will pay alot for the genuine ones that are for sale. If you have the papers… great. As a buyer , more important to have papers or some sort of authentication than a box which does not give me any piece of mind with my purchase.

OP, do you have original papers? That's more important than box.

I don't disagree, did you notice rhodium dial photo has stickers on it? So either posting stock photos or something is askew.

If someone is sourcing boxes that may or may not be the right year and what was given with the watch...I would question their watches. Many times "the package" is put together to take attention away from the timepieces.

Additionally you need to see how much a "box" adds to your sale price because they are hundreds of dollars plus to buy.

Not saying that’s what your doing so please don’t take it that way, but 7 posts looking for 4 boxes shortly after a major smash and grab spree sure raises eyebrows. Maybe I am more up front than most.
