What comes with a current Explorer?

Hi all, I am new to the forum and also to owning a Rolex. I have just bought a 39mm Explorer from my local AD and wondered what exactly should come in the box?
I have: Obviously the watch but I'm not sure how many links it should have so I can be sure that I have everything. The dealer took 1 out for me so I have that as a spare but no others. I have the red tag, the price tag, a yellow cushioned pad in the box with the plastic card, Explorer instructions and wallet. I have seen pics on the net of a colour booklet about the Explorer also and wondered if this was the previous model only. Is there anything else I should have? I'm sure it's all fine but I just want to double check so I don't realise in 10 years time that something was missing.

Thanks for your time.

Aidan

I think I got a oyster little green book that fix in the wallet with the explorer instuctions. No big deal IMHO, wear and enjoy your new watch I love mine and welcome!

You should have the watch, two tags, one green and one red, which is the hologram COSC certification tag. You should have a little green case with your warranty/COSC card and several booklets about the watch and maintenance, etc.

The total number of links should be 13 I think. At least that used to be the case. The colour booklet you refer to (with a picture of a cave on the cover) has probably been replaced. The cover of the new booklet is probably all green and has EXPLORER in white text somewhere and the contours of an Explorer watch on it.

The only real important bit is the watch and warranty when new, the rest is just packaging.
