Guru Help on rolex Certificate

Hi

Please check out this certificate and see if this looks legit and if anyone seen something like it before.

My 2 concerns:

1. The certificate has country code 200 but is sold in Italy (Ancona), the seller says that this was not unusual in the 80`s.

2. See the punched holes, some of the numbers are missing holes, seller says that this is also not unusual.

Thanks for all good help i can get with this certificate!

X2. The country code seems to fluctuate with a few of the countries in Europe from that era. Also, not having a hole fully punched out in the serial number is not that uncommon - I've seen it several times in the past.

Looks just like the certificate that came with my 1680/8 which I purchased new in Norway in 1974.

It has to be Fjällbrynt though as no other brand will do.
