Yellow boxes?

I have what may be a stupid question. I have 5 Invictas bought by my wife from Shop NBC, they all came in the signature Invicta yellow box packaging. I also just purchased a Yellow Wakesetter on Ebay and I have friends at the office that have purchased some pieces from Invicta Shark, these items too come in the traditional Invicta Yellow box, however, all the Shop NBC boxes open the wide way and the others all open the narrow way. Is there a reason behind this? what does it mean as far as the sale is concerned or the authenticity of the product? I know that the Shark is an authorized retailer for Invicta and that those pieces were all registered without a problem except it required a phone call to get the 5 years instead of the usual one on the warranty. I'm just baffled about the boxes. Why would they be different when purchased from different merchants?

there simply boxes, some of my invicta's came in the smaller yellow cheese box, but now for some reason they come in the larger ones, when I got my grand diver it came in a black reserve box, I think most comapanies ship their watches in the boxes they probally came in from invicta, since invicta is kinda known as being a parts bin watch company sometimes, it doesn't suprise their boxes would be any different.

As far as the product is concered, I honestly don't think you will ever have to worry about a fake invicta floating around out there, also a box is a box, as long as it has the proper paperwork and when you warranty register it, you should be good to go.

When I bought my last Invicta from Invicta Shark the page said it would come in a Black signature box. When it showed up in the small cheese I was mad and gave them something to hear... And now they are shipping me a black box, or rather Invicta is. I must say while the CS with invicta may be spotty the CS with IS is nothing short of awesome. Every email and problem I send is replied to and resolved within minutes, Invicta may do well to take a cue from them.

Anyway, the boxes do make a difference to me, because one; I have not shoveled out the cash for another jewelry box (I have one but I can only fit so many watches in it). Two; The bigger cheese comes with a cheaper yellow cleaning cloth, and the Black comes with a nicer white cleaning cloth. Both of which I find useful.

I doubt much of what I said will further illuminate the questions we have about the way Invicta boxes their products, but thats my experience.
