He said that is my choice so he should can have both but I don’t know if the quality is really the same of Chazingtime.
Maybe also you can try to ask to Saed and let us know your feedback.

In have supermirror on my telegram but can't DM him ? Maybe I'm doing something wrong
I think that he doesn’t use Telegram. His email address is [email protected]
I got the box and it looks like good compared to the price.
Just three things:
The writing Patek Philippe on the fabric cover is not good printed, some letters are not completely printed.
There is a crack on the back of the box.
The watch folder is not fixed and moves and create a slot in the back between watch folder and the rest of the white structure.

The bag cloth was the same for me, the printing wasn't good. I found you can burst off over printed areas. But yes I had faded printing.
Mine didn't have a cracks anywhere, and the "cushion bezel" was fine. Mind you I don't know about how well it would hold up to much use, I use mine as a display box, if you're pulling the cushion out a lot, maybe it'll come loose? I do thing the bezel thing is quite repairable, the crack could be a QC problem or shipping problem, either way it's good it's on the back..
Contrary to popular belief it seems there's a few versions of the rep box, with the main difference between the two I've seen being the size of the watch cushion and the color of the wood/wood effect

You have Nautilus papers??? For a 5711? Care to share pics?
So on mine:
The watch cushion comes out
The whole insert comes out (as seen when I demonstrate you can fit multiple watches in the box)
And the lid & latch opens wnd closes.
Otherwise it's solid as.
Yes, the paper is customizable.
Also mine cushion and whole insert come out.
What I meant is about the central part of the insert that is not fixed and set and it moves (the part under the cushion), could you try to verify your?

Wow... Its cool they now leave blank/half filled in papers. No manual though or is it still travel time Aquanaut books?Yes, the paper is customizable.

Yea no that part is fine on mine and definitely shouldn't do that.... That looks pretty rough. Looks like the entire cavity has been pushed in at the top...
Manual is about movements and instructions about how to use the watch.
The problem is that the central part under the cushion moves and it’s not fixed to the white big part that can be removed, I can try to glue it to the big part as should be I guess.

I've ordered one from Supermirror too. I want to see what the cert/papers look like. From pics Damnesias box looked slightly better quality but the papers were for aquanaut with no option to change.

I'm bias, obviously, but I agree. Having seen a lesser quality rep on a recent holiday to Turkey (see my previous for the saga), they had a much much lighter wooden effect box, their outer box didn't cover the lower box, think shoebox vs Rolex box, it was just a lid. The internal watch cushion seemed super wide.... Mine is 5711 nautilus width and not much more..
I don't claim to know more or less re a gen box, again mines a display, the only mods I needed was to trim the felt on the feet... Everything else is tight. But if I bought a $700 watch and it came in this box I'd be happy.
If I had @Andrea22 box, I'd be annoyed... But not mad, as I like a mod, and that's part of this gig for me.... Whether they're the same box, I don't know, the papers are different, so who knows without measurements. I know you can get the 324sc book for cheap, I've not seen the printed COA before, it's interesting for sure.
If I can give more info of the box ChazingTime sourced for me I will. I'll also tack on again how great Chazing has been as a dealer for me. Maybe when it comes to boxes/ancillary it's who you go to, not the factory. But again, I do not know nor claim to know the ins n outs of this market, do your own due dil, does not constitute financial advice, etc etc

I may end up getting the chazing time box too. Then I'll have the best box with the right papers for a true gen like experienceI'm bias, obviously, but I agree.

Please consider that I paid 80 Usd (shipping included) and gluing the insert to the main body is quite good.
