This is my Barnfind 1665 Rolex SeaDweller -- serial 804xxxx

Nearly all the bits. I have the orginal sales receipt, bezel insert, mainspring and other movement parts, crystal, punched papers, hang-tag, box, booklets, and then also the service papers that I just added.

Here is a IV 68 (case back stamp) GMT-Master 1675. The warranty booklet was not dated but based on my experience, it was probably sold during late 1970 to 1971. What I liked about the set was the cigarette paper was still in its original clear plastic sleeve which fit inside the lid. There are also documents from the first service which occurred a few decades ago at the Rolex Service Center in NYC !

Here's my 1980 manufacture Ref. 16750. I'm glad I kept everything at the time, did not realize it would be such a big deal decades later.

Thanks guys - some amazing sets here, wow, love 'em!

I don't have the anchor, booklets or hang tags, but I'm not bothered really. You can always pick that stuff up, but I doubt I'll be sourcing them - happy with the B&P.

Here's another one of the paperwork with the US Navy Base provenance/date of sale, and a shot of the watch with the recently acquired faded fat-font insert, and on the restored (MY) folded-link "PAT.PEND." bracelet... just for the hell of it.

The black insert, shown above, is the original fat font one that came on the watch. Cheers fellas
