I suspect you have the proper box...
In Response To: 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

That seems to be a very likely probability...

: 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 . . .

Well, I do have some pictures archived from other auctions for this model... See what you think:










I think this is a pretty good indication that you likely have the proper box for your purchase.

Cool Beans!

: 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

I've gotta wear my Mark V more often!

Cheers Sam!
