·Strong price. But considering it's condition, rarity and what the watch is actually worth, it will be a great addition to a collector. One with deep pockets.

··ΩF InvestiGatorI'd rather own the American version of this box from Bulova:
Just as rare and costs a lot less, too

...and yes, I have the watch.

·Certainly a pride of Longines

The watch worth USD 3000-8000 in auctions. The box should worth no more than 10%-15% of it.

I believe you are grossly understating the value of this watch H. 3 different auctions. All well above $15k. One sold in June for $25k including buyer's premium.

You are right G. I stand corrected. Sites that I googled dated back to 2007. Christies put estimate of the watch at CHF 3000-5000, but I did not get to see the closing price.

·Come on guys, its got red velvet 😜 .
You mean: ROMDS
The first thing we've learned about old Omega boxes... a particular smell... It was called ROMDS = Red Omega Mars Dust Syndrome

Thank you, I have seen that picture and couldn’t find anything else. That picture does not help a lot and I was hoping for more.

·Hi Tony thank you for the effort, but it’s the small angle hour watch that you can fit in any box. I guess that if someone paid 2.4k€ in 2013 it was for a specific box not the generic one you can buy off eBay every day.
Sorry for being frustrated but I spent hours searching. Longines boxes are a mess because Longines used old style fonts in recent boxes which make them look older than they are.

·To be clear, I am trying to identify the original box for the big Lindbergh watch.
I believe they don’t have it in the Longines museum.
