Early 5313 boxes/booklets/ephemera - any info?

Now there's a few of us newbies with early 5313s on this forum, I was wondering if anyone has the boxes and paperwork that an early 5313 came with - or can point us to pictures so we at least know what we are looking for - if we become obsessive about completing our collections.

What year is your watch, as that would make a difference on the booklets, boxes etc.

As an example, if your serial number begins with 32XXXXX, it is a 1971 vintage and was probably sold during 1973 or 1974, possibly later. You would want a box in that time frame. Rolex usually had two or three different runs of boxes for each decade. There were also changes in the booklets and tags, but not as often as the boxes. Vintage accessories can add substantially to the value of your watch, but like most vintage accessories in any hobby, they can become rather expensive.
