that link answers a lot of questions
thank for that link - found what i was looking for - one of the boxes maybe 50s (i'll have to compare when it arrives) but if not, then both are 1960s boxes now to find the velvet board slotted holders rolexephemera.com
Hence my first answer to you. ;)
To find the correct holder is another challenge. But that is the fun of the game, isn't it? Best, Nicolas
correct, except when the chase is over, the fun ends
