Worth keeping 'ALL' the bits and bobs?

[seadweller30]

Have got a couple of unusual handwritten bits of paper with my GMT 2, are they worth keeping?
Theres the receipt which I know is important, but there seems to be a guarantee of some sorts, and another slip of paper with some kind of correspondence. Are they worth keeping though I'm wondering, if I was ever to sell, would anyone want these?

keep everything...it can't hurt

"Handwritten guarantee"??? Hhmmm....

[seadweller30]

A simple yet perfect answer! Wondering why one of those guarantee cards wasn't issued though, is that something that was brought out after 2002?
I cant imagine AD's writing out hand written guarantees, or did they?

[seadweller30]

i know Goldenbear, anyone could write it. But 100% was written in Lunn's, my uncle bought it himself. He remembers the man writing it for him! Very strange. I would have thought it would have been more official considering Lunn's is an authorised dealer.

Are they just a translation of the certificates that came with the watch? The chronometer one shown in the photo looks to be in French.

All I will say is.. A TT GMT for £3,700 - damn I came to the Rolex world late!

Heres a past love, which I miss dearly! with the same 'chronometer' paperwork, it was bought in Glasgow though.

Darn, I didn't get any letters from my AD for any of my watches - your's must really care about you. :-)

I say keep it all...you never know when you will want it and it takes up very little room.
I remember the woman throwing out my Bezel protector on my Sub and I was like what the heck?! She was shocked I wanted it... I made her pull one off another and put it in the box.

Eight years later, I still have it.

The handwritten note is interesting... In the future it is unlikely to prove to be of much value as whoever wrote it cannot actually provide the Rolex Warranty...

However, you have the box and wallet and a bit of paper in it could prove to be quite a treat for somebody in 20 or 30 years.........

Im glad someone thinks the same way I do, so i'm not insane afterall!!! I think its nice to have, albeit unimportant paperwork, which 'is' connected to the watch even though its worthless in value. I would like to find it in the box of a used watch, although a little voice kept saying, bin it, its worthless.

Just keep them with the watch. They aren't of any particular value, but will add to the history of the watch.

I keep it all, though I'm not really sure why and it can be cumbersome at times. I suppose I do it in case I ever need to sell on, God forbid.

[mmmmp]

Better to "have them and not need them" instead of 'needing them and *not* having them'.

x2!!!

[seadweller30]

Cheers for all the comments

[superb]

I would keep em all, no harm and why not.

[MikeyTX]

Frame it ! As the watch is from your uncle, what a wonderful way to honor him if he's still alive, his memory if he's passed.

[icnbne]

just put it in the box, there is a special place for the papers..
no harm done just keeping it in there..

[seadweller30]

Will definately keep them, they have sat in the box for the last 8 years, it wont do any harm to keep them for another 8. Hes still alive thank goodness. He sold me the watch relatively cheap I feel, as the watch had very little wrist time. Only wore it when he was on holiday, rest of the time stuffed under his wardrobe due to the Sea Dweller being his everyday watch.
I was intrigued with the slips of paper, although couldnt understand why on earth an AD would write such a thing as it seems very unprofessional, not something I would expect from Lunn's as its the most respected jeweller in Northern Ireland. I thought they were nice little extra's, albeit to most people, unimportant ones .
