Anyone seen papers like these?

[theflywrist]

Hey guys!
So I just bought a 1680 red that came with this box and "papers".
Now I am not the most experienced guy with box and papers, but I did not buy the watch for them.
I would have bought the watch if it didnt come with these as well. Will post an incoming thread in a few days to show you guys why I got the watch.

But curious for now, can these be legit?
Just looking to see if others have bought a watch that came with these before.

Thanks guys!

handwritten papers......ahhhh.....the questions. Generally folks prefer punched papers but that even recently came into question with "punchgate." I would say it looks fine. I would pay absolutely no premium for them. They may be real....they may be a later addition....who knows. Most subs in that era came with punched.....entirely likely that the dealer lost them since the watch sat for a few years and decided to use this booklet to get the sale date down.....i have seen this booklet before. If you like the watch, this is the cherry....if you paid for box and papers i would be irritated (generally a 20-40% premium) since i really don't personally consider this to be true "box and papers." Just my 2 cents.

Thank you for the response!
I certainly and definitely do love the watch. Definitely a premium because it came with the papers. The premium was worth the example the watch is IMO. I would have got it even without these, but as you've said, it is the "cherry" in the purchase.
Just wanted to see if others had seen them.
What surprised me was that it was not a written paper on its own, but rather inside the booklet. But still the same concept I agree!

Thanks again!

The green paper is genuine and came inside the older Your Rolex Oyster booklets. Nothing was added after-the-fact, nothing nefarious about the green insert.
