Took a little break...
but now its back on the wrist! I haven't worn my 372 for the last 3-4 months because I'm not a fan of how leather feels during the summer heat and humidity. Almost flipped it because of the lack of wrist time but I'm glad I didn't. I feel like I've fallen in love all over again

Buying without box and papers
I seen a Rolex I like on a reputable online website but it doesn't have box or papers. It is 33years old. What if any are the implications of doing so and can boxes and papers be sought from Rolex?Thanks
