New box style? Sounds like the dealer was sloppy!
In Response To: Re: Presentation box ()

: What you are referring to as a "seal"
: is more commonly referred to as the
: "hang tag." While it is usual to
: include it, they frequently get lost as many
: dealers immediately remove it when showing a
: watch to a customer. It is of no particular
: use or value other than if you really desire
: having a perfectly complete set of
: packaging.

: Have not heard of Omega using black
: presentation boxes for the SMP--but it is
: quite possibly something they've just
: started doing. It does have the Omega logo
: embossed on it, doesn't it?Any way you could
: post on the forum or email to me a digital
: photo of the box you got?

As far as I have heard and seen, SMPs in Year 2000 came with the red leather box...
Email Omega ch with your serial no. and ask them whether it should have come with a red or black box to be absolutely sure.
