I'm going to ban the word "Calatrava" from the Longines Forum.

How about "Paul Newman" or "Nina Richt"? They are just as relevant.

Can't anyone accept that most watches never had model names from their manufacturers?

What a coincidence! I just picked up this nice piece of Calatrava from the Greek place on the corner. Really delicious! They put orange zest in it.

Napoleon anyone? (Notice the layers? "Art deco").

Too thick and clunky. Definitely not a Calatrava. More like a PloProf

OK, if you happen to live in the metropolitan NYC area, there is an iconic Greek supermarket in Astoria, Queens, called Titan, and their in-house bakery produces some of the best baklava I have ever tasted. They use high-quality pistachios, and real honey, as opposed to the cheap sugar syrup that is often substituted.

So, if you have some will power, swing by and buy a tray (or two) of the stuff, and I'll refund your money if you aren't delighted.

Oh, and my only caution is that it can be dangerous when used in conjunction with marijuana. 🙄

I have a small quantity of genuine balaclavas not sure if longines... Very rare. Been to the moon. Worn by Steve McQueen. Designed by Nina Rindt. Crafted by George Genta. Close relation of a speedmaster.

Have those actually been used in a kidnapping or liquor store holdup? It adds a lot of value if they have.

Seconded!
This would serve as provenance!
