What kind of Rolex? I believe there were two, one for chronometer-rated watches and one for non-chronometer watches.

Why not just search online for photos of full sets of Rolexes from the late '60s and see if you can find an example?

During 1968-1969, there was no translation booklet but instead it was a single, folded piece of paper. The multi-page translation booklets came into use around 1980.

Below are some pics from one of my sets. The watch, serial number 204XXXX has a 1968 case back stamping.

The folded translation paper is just to the left of the inner box.
