Hello everyone,

I've just bought this triple 6 for a very reasonable price. It's a good honest example but unfortunately didn't come with box and papers. I would like to make as much of a complete set as possible so wondered if anyone would be so kind as to inform me of what should be included and any specific details that would be great. I will be taking to Google now to see what I can come up with but wanted to get some info from this fine forum. Unfortunately the bracelet is a couple of links short so on to s nato it goes. Gratuitous wrist shot below... thanks all

Nice SD congrats. I'm not going to be a lot of help, but without the original papers, I don't really think it's worthwhile to amass the other bits. It's either a full original set or it isn't. The papers would probably warrant finding the other stuff to cobble together a 'set'. Having said that, you could get a period-correct box, toolkit and a couple of extra links so the bracelet would fit, but I personally wouldn't bother, beyond the bracelet.

What Vincent said :thumbs:
Only way to get papers is to have it serviced at an authorised RSC.
Afterwards finding the bits and pieces is easy.

He still won't have the original Chrono Certificate that came with the Watch when new.

what Vincent said, and

I'm always puzzled by the hunt to "match" items to complete a set.
for me, its either a set that came as is from new, and kept by previous owners as such, or otherwise its waste of time IMO.

don't forget that if you do match a box, it should be (IMO) a year correct and not just a model correct. and Rolex did have some changes to those over the years.
Just when time comes have it serviced and yu'll get the legit papers from rolex. thats enough.
