I picked up this little rose colored curvex style Longines the other day from a jeweler I have known for years. A day later, he called to say that he had forgotten to give me the box. A couple of days later the box arrived in the mail with the typical little leather covered manual and...the warranty paper with the correct serial number. I know this isn't in style now or rare or all that cool but...I like it.

Interesting full set, congrats on owning such a beauty

 

Makes for a very nice package! Thanks for posting the good photograph.

 

I say super cool! ...and I like it too! Let me know the day you no longer think is cool..

 

She’s awesome!

 

Beautiful watch, wasn't what I was expecting when I read the title

 

Yeaahhh, lets say it was that that I was expecting

 

Wow! Cool piece! I always dream about getting box and papers in the mail

 

Beautiful time capsule....and with the 'salmon' coloured dial I'd say it is very 2018 in its own way

 

Oh yeah, that thing is "Millenial Gold" if I've ever seen it. Beautiful watch.

 

Thanks for all of the kind words and fun. You have made me feel even better about Rosie.

With a title like that you must work in marketing. Beautiful watch and amazing to have the original box and set, really well done

 

John, you never told us what's under the hood. Is it a caliber 9L?

 

Draven...I am in marketing...well...sales. And...it is a 9-L.

 

That watch is a classic, congratulations. It’s always been in style in my book, dibs!

 

Beautiful and cool at the same time. What's not to love about this watch?
Besides getting the full package is a big plus for me.
Wear it in good health!

 

With me it's all of the above.

"Fashion comes and goes but style is eternal" - Yves Saint Laurent. I don't think this will ever be seen as an unfashionable watch. Its form transcends time.

It is relatively rare in that it's in practically the same condition as it was when it left the factory in 1940, and with all it's associated knickknacks.

It's very cool - just trust me on this one.

 

Lovely! I wish I knew such jewelers!

 

You need to start hanging out with more jewelers. Remember the classic lines..."Why do you rob banks?"..."Because that's where the money is!"
