I've been bigging these up for a while now - it was a "grail" watch for me because it was the same as the Ferrari drivers were getting.

These ended up being sold in some unusual places - mine was sold in a boutique of a much more high-end watch manufacturer that wouldn't usually have looked to stock any Heuer - so it's anyone's guess what box a lot of them were sold in.

However, they don't seem to have put a special effort in for boxes for these that they would do nowadays. One of the ones Abel had came with its original box and it was just the patterned red rectangle one:

I like the extra weight of wearing these over the steel 1153 - it can't be very much different but you can definitely feel a different heft.
