hard to find. Genuine are EXPENSIVE!! Never saw Rep papers, I suppose they exist,along with the fake box, hang tags, booklets to go along with the replica Rolex 1665's, 1680's etc. that some folks are trying to pass off as genuine on Ebay.

If the above is your intent, sir, I can assure you there are members of the genuine forums who are trolling the pages of Ebay as we speak reporting every suspicious Rolex to Ebay. Unfortunately, in their overzealous quest, they sometimes trash a genuine watch as well. The genuines get relisted with an explanation, the replicas usually don't.

If your intent is noble and aboveboard, questing to assemble a complete set of papers, "GeeGaws" and Boxes for your own self gratification, and the possible resale on the forum at some future date, good luck. Nothing wrong with that concept. I have assembled Boxes hang tags, Anchors and booklets in the past as well. Lots of fun, but increasingly expensive, especially for the alleged "Genuine" Rolex stuff.On some of the genuine sales forums, I have seen Submariner booklets from the early 1970,s sell for almost twice what a genuine White letter 1680 cost me in 1972!!

Thank you all for your comments. I assure you my intentions are noble, as I intend for this to stay in my collection. Some specs for your interest:

[] MBW case - old version which takes gen parts

[] ETA movement

[] Gen T39 superdome

[] Gen vintage crown and tube

[] Gen 93150 bracelet with 580 endlinks

[] Gen springbars

[] NDT dial with vintage lume (this is awesome!)

[] Gen vintage Tudor hands

[] Modded CG

[] Caseback paint removed and edges smoothed

[] Bezelinsert aged

[] Recessed insert

The sourcing of papers is an attempt, perhaps foolhardy, to complete the experience.

I picked up a GRAIL Comex 1665 from a member, and LOVING the watch. Would like to get papers to go with it just to complete the experience. Does anyone know whether anyone offers this service?

Thanks,

I have a gorgeous ROO Black Themes with a gen ETA 7750 movement. Is there any way to convert the movement from the second hand at position 9 to position 12?

Thanks.
