Legit Watch ‘papers’
I’m in the middle of buying a watch and the seller is claiming the watch comes with papers. The only papers are the photo below which I have seen sold with another watch but would like people’s opinion if they would consider this a watch with ‘papers’. The serial number for the watch is written into the watch no. Section in blue pen which I have redacted.

The printing and stamp looks similar to the booklet/papers in my 1016 listing. Otherwise, there are elements that do not match.
The serial number of the watch I am selling is printed on the booklet, not hand written. The booklet accompanying my watch also has some embossing on the cover, which can be clearly seen in one of the photos in my listing. The paper in the (poor quality) photo you posted looks glossy and newer than the booklet I own. |

Yes those warranty booklets are genuine. Used during very late 1960s-very early 1970s.
Many were hand written others can be found typed/punched. Whether the one depicted in the photo is genuine is a toss-up. Very poor photo quality.
