Mounted my 5513 documentation!
Under thick double sided acrylic. Now I can display and no more oil from human hands.

Very cool! Nice idea.
I assume the documents can be removed from the plastic, yes? Or are they permanently affixed? |

Very nice display.
Just a thought of mine but have you thought about having some nice color copies made of the documents and mount the copies. I doubt anyone would know the difference if properly copied at office depot. You could then put the original docs away in a safe where they would be well protected.

Looks very nice. I’d be careful of sun damage if I were you. Standard acrylic offers no protection, so ensure you don’t display it near any windows.
I’ve got some old stamps that were sandwiched like that back in the 90s and they have faded by about 75%. |

As for thoughts on serial numbers.... I don't worry as I have full prominence and chain of custody of this watch since it left the Hong Kong shop. If I had any concerns I'd be more careful. |

Why wouldn’t you. Not everyone in this forum is honest although we would like to think so. Think of it as a watches SSN. Shouldn’t be shared with anyone unless of course you are selling the watch and they want to verify it isn’t stolen. Other than that it isn’t needed. You can garner enough info from the first two numbers if you need to place it in a period.

Personally I'd blur the previous owners name and address too, just out of respect. |
