Above - I hunt full sets and as a collector personally don't care if the guarantee is blank. If the sports watches are backed with an archive in the Connies have their COSC's, then I'm satisfied. This watch has the documents which were provided upon original sale. The key is to check the small print on the booklets for proper date coding appropriate to the watch production. Nice watch ndgal GLWS!
There is really no way of knowing, unless you were the original owner. This is how I acquired the watch from its second owner, and he claims to have bought it as is from the original owner. From the many "Full set" Speedies I've had go through my hands, most of them had blank papers. (And I've bought a few of them from the original owners myself).
The 105.012-66 CB case back gives me hope that the bracelet was a later replacement. @ndgal if you get the archive report and it shows a 3/66 delivery date, I will take it.
