Oh man, at this rate, maybe I should sell mine and go for the RG with blue dial. Someone talk me out of this!

Never. That's a solid decision.

The only problem is the rg probably has inflated at the same level!

PSA: I've seen some disturbing refinish jobs on preowned overseas lately. Not even major dealers seem to be able to refinish these properly it seems.

What about factory refinishing? And which part of it looked bad?

I've never seen factory refinish. I'm sure it's excellent.

The preowned brushing is all wrong (grain) and the polish / brush interface is slop.

I have notice that there are two types of boxes for the three hands. Anybody know what is the difference and why there are two boxes?

Top is new. Bottom is old.

On the top boxes if you flip the insert over it holds and displays 2 watches.

I don’t understand how it can show two watches?

What year did they go from the old one to the new one?

It changed about 1 maybe 2 years ago. Fairly recently.

There's a slot for a single watch and pillow on one side shown in your top pic. There's two slots and two pillows on the other side. The new box is incredibly high quality. I wouldn't trade it for the viewing window one.

I have seen both boxes. Mine is 2019 , came in your 2nd pic box. Has a nice travel case with holder for both straps and watch.

I also purchased mine in 2019, and was given the option of which box to pick. I picked the old one for the travel case.

I hope my watch will arrive soon. I prefer the one with the bigger box. Looks my elegant then the smaller one.

Do you guys think I can choose which box I want if my watch will arrive in 2021?

No.

You'll get the newer big box without the passport.

You will get the box in your first pic. No view window. I don't know which you guys are calling the bigger one.

Good to go. It's gorgeous lacquer with inlay. Really a treat.

The release button on the front is a nice touch as well. Impressed overall with the overseas and VC as this is my first foray into the brand.

The newer box is bigger I.e it takes up more space.

I’ve got both boxes, happy to do a side by side.
