The COSC paper is extremely thick... And there is a bunch of stuff on the back...
The warranty paper is like nothing I've ever seen. Instead of a one page warranty paper it is like a booklet 4 full front and back pages. Any info appreciated!!! |

And also on the bracelet instead of letter marking on the clasp of modern watches I could not find any but I found on the inside 2 and the 67 underneath it, I am guessing February 1967? Is that normal? 12 o'clock lug I can make out a 1625 and on the 6 o'clock lug it's a matching serial to the warranty paper booklet and the COSC certificate...

Looks like you found a vintage Datejust with the original paperwork. The Jubilee band is much newer than the watch, the original would be folded, oval links, but the clasp appears original. I see that it originally sold in Hong Kong. How about a photo of the boxes.

Just did some research a 1625 is a thunderbird, kind of like the ancestor of the modern day turn o graph.

It's a very nice reference 1625 Thunderbird SS case WG bezel.
 Rolex started making this reference around 1960 (it followed reference 6609), and continued through around 1980 I think. Yours is probably a caliber 1565 non-quickset non-hack version. Very nice to find one with all of the original paperwork and COSC certification! Where'd you run across this one? A favorite reference of mine too. Here are a couple of its cousins. I'm wearing one today in fact, but on a strap

Should always ask ,,"What am I about to buy" instead of "what did I buy"?
LOL Good looking though |
