Thanks Jeff for posting this story, one I felt was worth telling to the OTD crew.

Advice: be very careful if you are storing a NOS watch. If you look carefully at the rear of case/on the box pic a miniscule amount of the paper caseback sticker came away when I had the watch stored in the red box on the pillow- I took the "flat" rear of case pic when I first received the package.

So, when storing, wrap the watch with greaseproof paper, and don't have the caseback in contact with anything. Some sort of moisture reducer (those silicone packets are good) is worth putting in with your NOS watch.

Fortunately in this case it is really small and in no way detracts from the overall pristine NOS condition of the watch or the caseback sticker.

It is as safe as houses now that it's stored properly and in an underground vault in a bank in the city!

Enjoy.

Cheers

Stewart.
