Need Advice About Watch Box
Need to ask for advice about whether to replace the inner (red) Omega watch box and the small wallet that holds the instructions, warranty, etc.I recently purchased an Omega Seamaster that was originally sold in 2002. The inner red box and wallet' are somewhat tattered--not just terribly so, but far from pristine. I was going to present this watch to one of my children as a present and was wondering if I should try to obtain a new--or newer and better looking--box, etc.What would you do if this were your situation? Where could I look to find a suitable box for sale? (Have tried the For Sale section of this and other watch fora without success.)Thanks for your input and advice.
