Correct Box for 1968 Polaris?
I found a period box for my Polaris, but I can't find any reference to the original packaging. I have not purchased the box yet - I'm looking to the experts to tell me if I found the right one. Here is a picture of my Polaris in the box. Is this the correct box for the watch? Thanks.

Re: E-859 Genuine or Fake

The mismatched signatures bothered me as well, but I didn't notice the "stainless steel" stamp until you pointed it out. Two questions: 1) The case back has "V1073" hand engraved. Coul...
