Max. Value 1961 Rolex Thunderbird

I have 1961 Rolex Thunderbird 1625 S.S. I also have with it, the original open, unmarked guarantee papers . My question is the following: If I decide to sell, is the value greater with both together or sold seperate. I have seen these papers go for $1000 plus. Thanks for any response...

The papers are worthless without the watch if someone is buying or selling paperwork, they are up to something not good

The warranty paper would be completely worthless without the correct watch to match the correct warranty paper.As for value with a yellow gold bezel, bracelet watch in good condition around $2500 might get $3000 on a good day its not a real huge collectible must have watch.

I would guess $2,500 for one is great shape or recently serviced. I'm wearing a gold-bezel version that is a few years older than yours. I replaced my jubilee some time ago and would consider $2,500 a fair price. If yours has a worn out bracelet, I wouldn't expect much more than $2,000, tops.
