Hi, I just purchased a navitimer olympus on ebay and I cant figure out what the four vent-looking things are on the side of the case. On the pictures two of them are visible and two more on the oposite side. They look like the helium vents on my superocean pro. If they are vents, what are they fore since the watch is not nearly water resistant enough to need them for diving...

Also, the paperwork included is white, does anyone know why? Breitling papers usually are yellow...

Thanks!

They are pushers for adjusting the date, month, day and moonphase.

The manuals are real, but older, and they will explain how those pushers work, but....

They aren't for this watch. They are for a watch with the same movement, but a different model.

Thank you for your reply. What effect does this have?... not having the original paperwork? Can the watch still be serviced etc?

Any genuine, not stolen and with intact serial# watch can be serviced.
