Wow! Even greater with the back story! I would script down the whole back story on a nice paper and make sure the paper is kept together with the box (if there still is one present)...just to keep the memory alive!

Love the Datejust. One day my intent is to get one in that exact same setup. It’s so hard to find that combination.

I agree! Funny enough, one just popped up the other day when I was browsing C24...the dial and bracelet isn’t in the same nice shape as mine but it’s pretty cool anyhow:

Ya, I thought the box was long gone, left in Curacao I assumed but my wife says they saved it all. I told her to find it, somewhere in the den. (we own the house now, they built it in '70) at the same time her mom bought a lady DJ with diamonds, her sister has that one, that box should be here too. I'll stay on the case now. hehee..
They brought this souvenir book then too.

Some say the dial these dials are bland but they really pop in natural light!
