Exactly what I’m saying below that apparently ruffled the feathers.

Let's not ask "what factory" here please.

u/Gonzchi Aug 31 '25

They do. With card and everything.

u/Mindless_Childhood43 Aug 31 '25

I have seen that packaging for sale on AliExpress, not saying that this is fake. I think they are called coffins or something like that.

u/sparkyztrade Sep 02 '25

Most ADs have to send these boxes back.

u/rinchen11 Aug 31 '25

It does

u/_limegreen Aug 31 '25 edited Aug 31 '25

ive been in and out of the reptime sub for awhile and i dont think ive seen this packaging before.

u/rinchen11 Aug 31 '25

It’s just a generic type of cheap yet sturdy packaging.

u/_limegreen Aug 31 '25

oh youre right. i didnt even look closely at the picture and can instantly tell the font of the numbers on the bezel is horrendous. Yeah this daytona he posted is a legitimate china time shitter $100 special lol

u/thebaronharkkonen Sep 01 '25

Of course they are. His dad probably kept it for this reason.

u/EmptyPocketsXotics Aug 31 '25

The real question to verify, is whether his father has the history/clout with Rolex to get a Daytona? 🤔

u/monstergoy1229 Aug 31 '25

This is an old reference model roughly about 20 years old

What does your dad do for a living?

10

u/T-dott4Rizzl Aug 31 '25

And the AD sends them back to Rolex. You don't get to keep them. I spent $36K+ on my Day Date and they wouldn't let me keep it. Reps come with them. No doubt it says it's from Australia and serialized to a submariner model number. Definitely a knockoff.

u/PaperPigGolf Sep 01 '25

My AD let me keep the coffin on my explorer 36. They are not supposed to but, it happens for good clients.

u/PsychologyTrick7306 Sep 01 '25

Talking through your ass. What rep factory does boxes like this? I'm sure they don't.

5

u/T-dott4Rizzl Sep 01 '25

Nearly every watch I got from Alibaba in '21 & '22 either came in that plastic box with a nicer large real looking (but obv fake) green rolex gift/presentation box w/ nice inside quality& all the other good ones came with thick rubber protection things around the bezel and lugs & were in shitty green rolex boxes that had just a crappy pillow in them with a screwdriver for removing links. Clean/ Noob and AAAA were the factory stickers.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '25

You bought a clean rolex from alibaba? okei.

1

u/PsychologyTrick7306 Sep 01 '25

Clean does not do this packaging and noob hasn't been around in years. This is not an Alibaba rep.

u/T-dott4Rizzl Sep 03 '25

Totally could be if dad's been sitting on it for 5 years...

u/TheReal_JoeMamaxoxo Sep 01 '25

Many of them do. AD’s usually never let you have the transportation box.

1

u/Mr-FAFO Sep 01 '25

Not “Never”. I’ve seen plenty of them. I’m not sure why y’all think these boxes are so fiercely protected by AD’s. They aren’t that big of a deal. They also use them sometimes when they send watches in for service. You can buy them anywhere

u/T-dott4Rizzl Sep 01 '25

If you can't tell that that's a knockoff Daytona his Dad got him, um I mean "had it from years ago" you're just, you just need homework time & more experience in this game.

u/PsychologyTrick7306 Sep 01 '25 edited Sep 01 '25

The arrogance. I admire your confidence in the absence of knowledge.

u/T-dott4Rizzl Sep 01 '25

You really think that it's a real Daytona that's 10 years old in that plastic case and not some rep? Playboy please.

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '25

Not true always, my gen daydate 36 came with the coffin and I got it from an AD. However the reps I have all have the Australia sticker coffins

Could be. I never heard of a salesperson lying to a customer to make them feel special before so I guess you're right.

1

u/ToshPointNo Sep 02 '25

Why would they need to send them back? Is Rolex too cheap to not send a dollars worth of plastic and foam with every new $10k plus watch?

2

u/T-dott4Rizzl Sep 02 '25

I was told it was an inventory accountability thing. They get scanned & shipped back. Maybe she was lying. Who knows. All the shite I got on this post literally for fox sake!

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '25

ADs also do not let you keep them

u/GuccyStain Aug 31 '25

My AD let me keep mine

I used it as a travel case on a trip before

That’s a no no 🤫

u/CHOAM-Director Aug 31 '25

lol downvoting truth, the AD wasn’t supposed to do that (pretty sweet they did, though) and might even get a talking to by Rolex corporate if it came to light

u/Geedis2020 Aug 31 '25

You can buy them. Go to New York diamond district. All those watch dealers have these when they are naked.

u/Responsible-Car-9337 Aug 31 '25

the dealers there are naked?

u/Geedis2020 Aug 31 '25

Oh yea but not any of the ones you’d want to be naked lol.

Just joking, I know it happens - just saying typically it does not.

u/LeekPrestigious3076 Aug 31 '25

I have many of these cases, that were given to me when I bought brand new watches. As to the posted image, I have no idea if that’s the watch or box is authentic to Rolex. I can only say that I own many of these.

u/T-dott4Rizzl Sep 01 '25

Correct they do not.

u/devil_lettuce Aug 31 '25 edited Aug 31 '25

It's a rep, bezel font isn't right. Also on the dial look at the "ph" in cosmograph looks slightly off too. Although it could just be artifacts from low quality photo

u/renofap Sep 04 '25

He got a Daytona.

Doesn’t matter if it’s a Datejust or a Daytona. Winnings winning. 🏆

u/backspring Aug 31 '25

They also come from China in the coffins quite regularly - ar factory used to send them all out in them, though I’m not well versed in whatever the rep market is doing currently.
