What is this about? Is this a receipt of a watch Sheikh Albani bought? Its difficult to discern.

It’s a receipt you’d have gotten from Shaikh al-Albaani if you’d have taken your watch to his shop to have had it repaired.

MashaAllaah this is really nice.
One lesson that salafis in the West can take from this is:
If an imam such as Shaikh Albaani could find the time to do all of his knowledge-based research, publishing and activities, and at the same time engage in a lawful, noble and highly skilled trade, then what excuse do many of our so called “duaat” have to be asking people for money?

Assalamu’aalykum,
Quite clearly Shaikh al-Albaani was a man in every sense of the word. Working for a living is an honorable and praiseworthy thing. This is something that is not emphasized enough in the West especially. In some communities if someone is working or has career aspirations, it’s seen frowned upon waAllahul-Mustaan!
Thought this is related to this post: “The Encouragement to Eat of what Your Own Hands Have Earned & Sufficing with it Over Begging & Subjugating Oneself to Handouts” from Imam an-Nawawees famous book Riyadh-us-Saleheen. Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya
May Allah accept our good actions in this blessed month, Ameen.
Keep up the good work, BarakaAllahu feek.
