I don't think the box for that year had perforations?

Stunning Pepsi.

Wear in good health.

Can we expect additional pics?

Congrats

An iconic GMT!

As long as the papers match the serial numbers of the watch, all is good.

They are getting more difficult to find, especially in the fine condition you have.

Enjoy.

Hey Jocke,

The box and papers are real, the watch is a FAKE. So send it to me and I'll get rid of it for you!!

Congrats, my friend.................the watch is beautiful and your pics do it even more justice!!
