Hi zenciti,
Thank you for posting those photos, it is always enjoyable to see how watches were presented when new. I notice in the photo above a small item in the box, laying next to the crown. Would that happen to be made of plastic, and wedge between the case and the crown when the crown is pulled out? That was somewhat common practice, especially when cell life was more limited like it was early on, though Timex still uses something like that to make sure the crown stays pulled out until purchased. If that is what that item is for, hows that for saving literally everything that came with the watch?! It could be something else, but that is what I think of when I see it.
