I am looking for an authentic boxset and found this one on ebay. He claims its authentic but I cant tell, it doesnt look like the others that I have seen.

It looks authentic.. it is the new style introduced last year some time. The only thing a bit odd about this one is that its not shiny/glossy on the black part of the outer box... maybe its the light. All the ones i have seen are kind of shiny, this one looks matte.

Looks real to me to, even down to the card inside that has the imprint of the bakelite box. Bakelite should be shiny, and even though the picture looks matte, you can see a reflection in it so I also assume it must just be the lighting or something.

I have both a shiny and a matt one, the shiny one came with my SA the matt one with my SO, both from an AD so obviously both types exist and are legit.

Agreed. Both my SA's came in matt boxes and my Worlds came in shiny.

If that's a fake box someone has spent way more than $51 of their time on it :wink:

They should put their expertise into making watches instead :P

Yup, I'll add to this, def. genuine, same as my SA box, where as my SOH box was shiny.
Wonder how the guy get's them? He says he has lots more :shock:
