I hope to add more but I have never seen

Punched version of this...
I have seen typed.
I have seen the next level typed
and
I have seen machine printed test like a big type writer many dots in red but never not punched like the later certificates.... Great find and one more rumor of authenticity killed.
The real problem we all face everyday real or not....
I have never see this version punched.
For me punched meant done at rRlex and shipped with the watch....
But with Rolex never say never
I hope to add my samples soon.

The " Mar Del Plata " is one of my favourite GMTs... As well as the 6610, and I don't even mention the 6542. I don't see myself letting them go, one day. Yes, this is true, they all tell a story which goes way above their owner. My favourite books. Best, ...
