The watch looks authentic to me. THe warranty papers looks funny. And SUPERDOC, the handstack you see is actually correct and accurate for the older GMT models. On matte dial models, the 24 hour hand is the closest to the dial. Then its followed by the hour hand, minute hand, and second hand.

It looks like those are the papers to the very rare Rolex "#2" movement.
You'll need those papers and many for that type of movement.....

I believe that that model came with two ply. Those papers are clearly not authentic. Box looks correct though.

You know Jocke, Now you should fill that box with .... and ship it back! I think after that he will send you ASAP the money back.

The seller should use those papers to wipe, if you will, his mouth

The bracelet mod doesn't surprise me.
Jocke is mad enough to wear it around his neck, or waist.
