Enough to say "full set"?
I have not owned this since new, so I can't be sure what it came with, and I know people can be sensitive about the term. Would you find it objectionable if I called this a "full set" in a listing?

Sure as heck looks like it to me. Not sure if others would require original sales receipt, but I would think full set is not misleading if used in this instance.

I wouldn't - but some pedants might say a wallet, calendar and translation are needed to be wholly replete. - but of course that's 50 'singles', tops , for those 3 bits - nice A / U 'swiss' piece btw :^}

I don't believe those were included in the USA sets during that time period.

Looks like a complete set to me Dan. "A" serial numbers wouldn't have the vinyl folio and calendar in the USA.
Instead they had the semi-cardboard Rolex sleeve that held the warranty paper -which I see depicted in your set.

Great, that's good to know. Thank you, JP. Yes, I have the green sleeve with the cut-out window to show the serial and reference numbers.

There you go, my mistake... excellent info thanks - yes, jogs my memory that I think we didn't get the window sleeve cardboard wallet in EU.

Full enough for me, but as above the wallet and calendar would be nice.
![]() If you want to be super-anal, you'll need the green caseback sticker stuck to the front of the wallet...And the original sales receipt...And the model number sticker on the outside of the cardboard box...And all service records...And a letter from the family of the original owner...And sepia photos of him wearing it on a boat in SCUBA gear... ![]() |

Oops, I forgot the polishing cloth that was hiding in the inner box. :-)

If you were listing it here on TRF as a full set, it would get a pass with just the boxes, paper, two booklets and red tag.
