I got that one as a replacement on the warranty. I originally had an OLD Box that was made of birch, no trench oring or pushback ring, and the battery hole was wider(maybe some other internal changes too).
It felt really good to have the "new version" but that was just as the new latch top boxes came out!
haha but I love mine still, Im fine without the ball latch thing to hold the lid down. I dont really want that anyway.
I had to be at a very specific angle to show that grain, and its only on that side! glad you like it !
