I believe you have a Curvex Ace. The design of the bezel has the details of the Curvex Ace rather than the Curvex Baron. Also, a style number of 255 is that of the Curvex Ace. If you look closely at the bezel in particular the ends just before where the lugs are formed, you will notice that the sides are raised as they form the lugs. It's very difficult to describe in words what I am talking about so the best I can say is to examine the picture on page 17 of the Model ID Guide Volume 1 very closely and compare it millimeter for millimeter against your case. I assume you own Volume 1, if not feel free to contact me Smile

If you were relying only on Volume 2 then your guess was a good one. It's a beautiful watch. Congratulations
