New box for the collection

[Adrian-VTA]

I know some of you guys are box junkies, I got this yesterday with another piece. It's a wooden box with "leather print" stuck on it. Inside is some polyester satin.

Any idea what watch came with it?

I do remember a very similar box was used with the early "electronic" quarts watches late 1960 early 1970.

I got it with a 6139-7100, Not sure if it's the original, but what I do know is that I have other pieces from the same time frame in a similar, albeit smaller box, as they are women's pieces. They are red though instead of brown on the faux leather

I have a suspicion it's an Australian native thing

I have a similar box. I've been wondering what watch came in it. I believe it's from the late 60's.

That's definitely an upper value model, the White and the blue writing was used on boxes for Female boxes and also world timers/Bellmatic's etc. The sportsmatic often had black and red writing.

I've seen those boxes with mainly 6139-xxxx NOS watches. One went through similar earlier this year on a NOS 6139-6000 proof dial watch in Brazil. I've also seen some of the higher end Seiko dress watches with that type of box but not wit that finish.

Just picked one of these up myself and have another on the way.
