Paper chase

[oztimelord]

Dear All,

I’m not talking about my work that is a case of more paper shuffle and talking the talk (personally I prefer to walk the walk) :dummy::rofl:

That brings me to my most recent project and it is not another watch. Rather I’ve been in the hunt for an original Rolex Cosmograph booklet that came with the watches during the mid to late 60s. Boy I though getting an authentic vintage Rolex is a challenge, these booklets are as rare as hens teeth. Naturally there are a lot of fakes. With a bit of inside knowledge from a fellow experienced Rolex collector and some determination the challenge was finally overcome.

That's great news. Are there any little pearls of wisdom in that booklet?

Nice! Who knew that the manual would matter? It all went into the trash!

I like this line, 'The Rolex Cosmograph was designed for you, the young in heart, the sportsman, the business executive, the engineer in today's fast moving, time-conscious world. .................................................. .....

It's a watch for men of action'. :chuckle::thumbsup:
