Rollies on their new boxes...

[Goodwatch]

However, if Rolex is your first 'luxury' watch, you'll be impressed. Once you learn a bit of other brands (VC, AP, JLC) you'll see how crappy the Rolex presentation is. Hell, even Invicta offer better packaging than Rolex does. And believe me, my Rolex boxes have been in a closet since the day after I bought mine, but just the same...

Also, Panerai provides the COSC certificate. Nice touch.

And that proves that Rolex marketing is akin to walking on water. All that (deserved) comments and remarks and we still come back for more. Amazing!
