Depends on when they published the booklet. Booklets are provided by the Dealer and so they would have grabbed one off the stack that would have been published prior to 1976 - not sure of the frequency of when they publish booklets; it may have been a few years earlier..

Close to 76 would be my guess. Don't over think it.

X2. It could be anywhere from 1972-1976, and like Larry wrote, depends on what the dealer has in stock. As an example, 1972 dated books could have been used for two or three years before the next batch was released.

Good advice Joe - over-thinking will cause your lower cerebellum to shrink.

Thanks, just trying to complete the whole set as the booklets were lost...now, they are very expensive to get them back, therefore need your help...

Well, the most important thing here is that you have a 1655!

Good luck though. Any wrist shots for us in the meantime?

rob got it - more important that the watch is nice and safely on your wrist :)

I do not like shrinkage. Not. One. Bit.
