Rolex Papers, how important?

[largespiced]

Hi.

I would really like a Rolex from my birth year and have found this:

http://www.watchfinder.co.uk/Rolex/Submariner/Watc...

I notice it does not have papers or box, but is not much less than new/newer ones with papers. How important are the papers? Would It effect value in future without them? Can Rolex issue them or authenticate the watch and produce papers?

Thanks all

Scott

Has anyone ever dealt with the watch finder? Any other places I should also be checking out?
