why do vintage papers look so much cooler then modern papers...
I guess because they are. My Rolex purchase came with computer generated paperwork.
boring. the vintage papers you see handwritten, etc., have so much more character. how 'bout some photos of vintage Rolex papers.... |

Vintage DOES have a certain charm, though... I'd love a 1680.

I agree and the vintage Rolex boxes with real leather and real wooden panelling were delightful too.
