Don't miss it!  I will let the 36 photos do the rest of the talking.  Pay close attention to them, as they are the whole booklet, in actuality.  Everything is large and legible. Condition is like new, although slightly curved.  If you store the booklet with weight applied, it will straigten out. Please note that the photos may not be of the actual booklet, as I have many duplicates in more or less the same condition.  You will not be disappointed, in any case, as condition is much better than average for a 60 year old piece of Rolex history.  This auction is for one booklet only, 32 pages, plus the covers.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Please do not hesitate to bid high and bid often.  I have numerous references and over 13 years of experience selling vintage watches.   PLEASE DO NOT NEGLECT TO READ THE FOLLOWING.
