Day Date 18238 opinion wanted

Guys
Just received my DD onyx 18238, 1999.
Full set....almost

Comes with box and paper (+ a translation booklet, recent RSC service card, receipt and the very original sale receipt too)

What else am I missing so I could complete it as a "full set"?

Thanks

p.s. for some reason, I have been unable to upload all the pics, but anyway here' what I have in the box

Its missing the hang tags. It doesnt matter though because the green hang tag would have a sticker on it with the serial number which you will probably never be able to find. A blank hang tag wont really "add" anything to the set.

From the photo you posted it looks like you’re missing the watch! ;)

Do any of the papers happen to say "onyx" on them? (not that that's a requirement)

Thanks, I got the watch from a reputable dealer and it just got back from RSC. So I am confident the watch is genuine.

Just try to find out what else I am missing so I can make it as a "full set". And yes, I think the green hang tag with SN is impossible to be replaced.

And no, I am not a watch dealer.

Hang Tags

Looks like you are only missing the hang tags.

Its a beautifull combo.
Seriously considering to replace my dial for this.

Only one observation.
I think the wooden Laquer box shipped before 1995, because mine is a 1995 model and it had the Brown Leather Box with a wooden insert.
But again i'm no expert on this.
