Size of the boxes

I bought the GMT 2 ceramic version with all paperwork yesterday and had a DJ2 before along with the Sub C.
I noticed the box of the GMT2 C is smaller than the box of the DJ2 and the SUB C.

I know the box does not mean much to many of you, but I just want to know if I have the genuine box of the GMT ceramic.

It depends on the availability of boxes at the AD. The smaller is perfectly fine. You could ask them if they will replace it for a larger one.

Used to own a GMTIIc and the box was exactly the same as a SubC or DJII.

Get the correct one from your AD, it may spook a would be buyer down the road.

It all depends on what your AD has in stock. They mix and match sometimes. The smaller box can't fit the serial card holder though.

generally the SS daytona and green sub LV come in the smallest box
stuff like subc black and TT pieces ect come in the medium size
and the all gold watches come in the largest box

and the sky dwellers come in the all green boxes (on the inside as well)

My AD mixed them up. He gave me a small box marked Cellini for my DJ. The small Cellini box doesn't hold the papers as well. My other 2 DJ boxes were larger and fit the paper and card fine.

I have the opposite. Sub C box is smaller than the ladies Oyster box.

It's pot (or rather box) luck at the AD

If you are unhappy, try asking the AD to swap boxes

Have to agree its just a box a packaging box and not the best of those.

I thinks it all depends on the availability of boxes at the AD, I have never received large boxes even when I purchased all gold models, I received a small bow when I bought the Sub LV
