Thanks! Here's a photo of the set, courtesy of the seller. What the photo doesn't show is the punched paper fully opened and the matching punched booklet, which is inside the green wallet. I had never seen one before. Super cool. I won't be able to eat for a month, but I have another beautiful vintage Rolex!

Who needs food anyway as Robby says, drink plenty of water.

Stunning set - doesn't get any better than that

Not quite an open and close issue without the review of the better pictures.

Mario, thank you for your time, patience, and extra pictures to get this accomplished. I offer you an apology if the discussion on the open forum upset you.

Thank you for updating us and letting us see your baby back together. We all felt for you when you told us of the damage, but after a seemingly long time if wait...SHE's BACK!

Congrats!

Mark IV, 2.6m couldn't check the caseback, wrong GMT bracelet

It was damaged by moisture at earlier point of its life and its dial, hands, and bezel insert had to be replaced in 1993. Fortunately it was before luminova replacement dial era and the watch had original Mark IV dial installed.

It has the most pale white tritium I've seen and perhaps needs some time in a drawer

Welcome and thanks for posting. And that dial already has a nice smooth patina!
