The chance of you not getting it back are pretty high. I was in the home electronics business for many years and walk-in repair departments would usually request that you keep your box or take it back with you. They simply couldn't (or wouldn't) keep track of all the boxes. Once it is out-of-box and waiting for parts, they now have to store the box somewhere.
When you send in most electronic gear to a manufacturer's department, they will usually send it back in a plain brown box and not the original. They often pitch your box right away. Again, it is a storage issue in many cases.
Obviously, watch boxes are smaller. But, then so are the service areas for watches. So to keep your nice Yellow Invicta box, I suggest never sending it to them. Use something else. I also take the strap and the bracelet off any watch I send in. I just send the head and nothing else.
