Vintage COSC Certificate in detail

These old handwritten certificates add to the personal touch and character of a handmade watch, it's a pity Rolex doesn't provide them today.
The certificate below is from a 1967 1016 Explorer.

Hey Steve

Is this for your 1016?

Ah.....1967 a great year!

I may have to buy that from you one day.

Could you just imagine them doing it for 600,000+ watches a year!!!


John.

Sorry John, it's not from my 1016, I could have bought it but I thought about it for a year or so, and in the end I missed out.
I do have a 1016 but it is an "L" serial (1990).
You know what they say "You snooze, you loose!" well that's what I did in this case. Oh well next time.
