What's in the folder? Not a diary

It's the user manual. No language translation needed, it's a cartoon graphic of how to care for the watch:
Let me show you what I think it all means:
I think this first page says you can take all the screws out whenever you wish, and watch the rotor spinning round. Just don't put AA cells into it.
(looks like a big spacer ring in there too ... and a silicon escapement, and, and ...)
This page says it's safe to take into Graham's fish bowl, the ocean, or any other fluid (miso soup, Talisker, methyl ethyl ketones, etc.)
And this page says
1. if you wind the watch you will have biceps like Arnold Schwartzenegger did when he wound up his first Royal Oak
and
2. You can twist the crown back and forth and simulate the anno, making the dot go in both directions and appear in the little holes in the dial.
Unlike that watch and this drawing though, my watch actually has numbers so I know which day of the week I am on - today is day 1.
I choose that to be Monday. You can make day 1 of your week any day you like.
There are lots of other amusing pages in the book which I will have to try to understand. But you need to buy your own watch to see them!
Cheerio
