Incoming silver air king, full box/papers...

I picked up this silver dial airking 5500 from the year 1990 today. This is the first time I have purchased a full set, which included:
-original 1990 receipt from the jewler in the Bahamas
-Rolex warranty paper
-Rolex calendar
-Rolex oyster manual
-Rolex leather wallet
-outer/inner boxes

and more importantly, a great original owner silver dial Rolex in pristine condition. I wish my other watches came with this much paperwork/stuff...
Original 1990 price- $830 dollars...
