I'm not sure who hit more home runs in 1961... Roger Maris or Longines. And this model, the deluxe, 18k, date-at-12, cal 291 Conquest, was a walk-off grand slam. It is with some trepidation that I post this here, as Dennis hasn't weighed in on it yet, but here it is - my first arrival of 2015. It'll be headed off for a service ASAP. Normally I would pop the back off and have a look first, but I'm not touching that medallion with the rubber ball, and I don't have a JAXA wrench on hand.
Looks great and it even has the correct crown - congrats Have a similar (believe yours have sharper edges, though) and I never get tired of looking at it
So, more of a Larsen watch than a Maris watch. I'll take that. Man, that clip of Berra jumping into his arms always gives me goosebumps... and I'm a Red Sox fan. Unadulterated joy.
