Icon20 Old Rolex AD Memorabilia - Lots of Pics!

I'm calling upon the vast knowledge of this great forum to see if a few pieces of AD memorabilia might be worth something. Any help / opinions are greatly appreciated. All of these things are dated roughly from the early 80's to the early 90's.

This one is pretty self explanatory. A "Rolex Warranties" box.


Here's the same warranty box with a few booklets. (More pics of those below)


Here's the inside of those booklets. One is a multi-language owners manual and the other is an information booklet on the rolex explorer filled with exploration stories and pictures etc. AND the back is stamped with a hole-punched serial code and model number. The warranty paper you see with the tag in the corner is actually in french but it also has a hole-punched serial on it.


Here is a multitude of old Tudor booklets and wallets. I also have a TON of tudor boxes, some special edition with anniversary stamps on them. No pictures of those yet though..


A few already listed items posing together..


Here's an official Rolex AD catalogue - I believe the price list is dated for the early 90's on this one.


The catalogue contains a complete price list for all models inside.


This is the introductory page, addressing the official AD


The rest are pretty self explanatory once again..










There is more but I'll stop here for now. There's still some more rolex stuff and a LOT more Tudor stuff including a few very old watches that I found in box.

Looking forward to hearing what you guys have to say!

Thanks

Fun stuff! I used to have a bunch of that stuff too when I was in the business. I didn't think for a second it would have any value and tossed it when I sold my stores to the corporate-run chain stores.

Does this stuff hold any value yet or is to soon being that they are from the 80's and 90's?

Thanks!

Rolesor,

I have always said that there is a buyer for everything if you wait long enough.

Anything Rolex seems to have a market. I am not an expert, but I would bet you could sell most of that stuff.

That 'stuff' does indeed have a value. Just have a look on ebay for some of those dealer catalogues they can cost $600+

Vintage Tudor booklet for a 79180 $$$ help me.

All of that stuff has a market on ebay. If you only want a certain price you can always add a reserve or even put it up on "buy it now". Good luck.
