Papers with a new rolex?

I live in the UK and recently purchased a new Bi-Metallic Daytona from an authorized UK retailer. I am not too happy with the hand written 'bill of sale' I was given.
Is there a set standard for a 'bill of sale' that one should expect from a Rolex Authorized agent. The official bits were included in the box - should the plastic Guarantee be in French?

Any help appreciated. John

Welcome to TRF and congrats. The international guarantie is French and more important than the bill of sale. You'll need it in case of any warranty work. Lets see some pics!

Don't sweat it. Different dealers will have difference point of sale systems.

As long as you've got the warranty card, tags, box, manual and oscar plastic you're ok.

If you wish to safeguard future "completeness" just save your bank/cc statement that matches up to the price on the receipt.

You have the most important bits the watch and the warranty card which will be in French a bill of sale is just that ,hand written or in many cases just a till receipt like you get from a supermarket.

That bill of sale will suffice for your insurance agent to insure the piece.
