New chrono

I acquired this new chronograph, one that Chuck terms a "Teutonic"

I have enjoyed it immensely -- the titanium and yellow gold, both brushed, is an out of the ordinary appearance.

It came well documented.

Interestingly, one collector has informed me that this is the original box that it was delivered in

which confuses me, as the watch is reputedly a Speedmaster -- even though, like all Teutonics, it has a Seamaster case back

Does anyone have any insight into if the box is appropriate? The very reputable seller did not mention that it was an original box, nor that the original documents were supplied. A very nice surprise . . .

Here's a rather poor shot that gives you an idea of the difference in appearance between the titanium and the polished steel of the 1045-based Mark V Speedmaster
