Would be non hologram seal, 84/85 green booklet translation, and then a 84/85 white writing (on bottom of front cover) YOUR OYSTER and GMT booklets. Or could be 85/86 gold writing versions too. Raised crown Oyster or preferably GMT green tag. Calendar full year 84 or split 84/85 Calendar or full 85.

Some additional info on accessories-

The GMTs came with a green hang tag embossed with the coronet sticking out the top of one side with the other side containing the word GMT-MASTER on it. The green Oyster-embossed tag was used for many other models, but not the GMT, Submariner, Quartz model or a few other models.)

In Japan, it might have came with the vinyl folio, and if not, the lightweight green cardboard sleeve that held the warranty paper with a cutout in it where you could read the warranty paper's serial number.

There was also a very small, green folded paper - about 1" square -that gave instructions on how to operate the rotating bezel.

If purchased from an authorized Rolex dealer in Japan, the guarantee will be in Japanese.
