Re: Question on AT box - wood or leather?

Bought the 38mm AT May last year, from major watch dealer here in Singapore. Didn't know it should have come with the wooden box till 1 day later (checked the pictograms and didn't match). Cursed myself.
Mailed Bienne and was told that they were going to change it to red box very soon anyway, which was besides the point. So was promised the actual wooden one.
Turned out salesman was either unaware(claimed)or keeping the exclusive box for himself. Ran to hide when I came back to look for him. Other staff gave me an Omega commemorative book and a Cartier watch cleaning kit to placate.
So if your warranty card pictogram(s) don't match with the box, probably there might be more stupid salesmen in the world than we'd rather have:I
