Uh, yeah OK.

If I only could figure out what is the unknown which I know that I don't know.

Did I get that right?

I think so, but I understand your confusion. I Meant to say, "BTW, Donald Rumsfeld told me that Desmond is in complete agreement with us" so my mistake.

 

George, how do you know it was for a Centenary?

 

I thought that the Centenary boxes were inscribed on the inside. Boxes were made in the US, UK and Switzerland depending on where the watch was originally sold. The same watch might have had different boxes.

According to the ad I posted above, it doesn't look like the silver box was optional with the Centenary, like it was for the Constellations.

Take care,

That certainly may well be be, but I have yet to find any concrete evidence that the Centenary came in anything but the smooth boxes. The information below though does hint towards that possibility.

Perhaps, though I don't see this in Doug Gravina's boxed set or the the AJTT illustration:


But, there is an outer white cardboard box that is labeled, Omega Centenary and the years.

I agree , this is an important fact. Although in the case of the Centenary, which came with a Silver box included, all of the boxes appear to have been made in Switzerland by the Jezler Company.

I agree, here is your ad again and another that says Magnificent presentation box (silver I presume). It is possible there were variations in the silver box (smooth vs patterned) depending on the bracelet or the size (2499 or 2500)

I plead "not guilty". Mine came from a web search.
