Hi,
it is interesting that your tag says that the Curvex with the curled lugs is the Symphony model.
The advertisements of 1950 and 1951 show it together with a ladies Curvex, and in the ad the ladies watch is called the Symphony and the mens is called Prelude. Also the price control documents from this time indicate the Symphony being a ladies watch.
So I am not quite sure if everything is correct with your watches being NOS, but it could simply be a mixup of the dealer 65 years ago.
Value? Watches are worth what buyers are willing to pay, I believe the Curvex could go for up to $200, the Precision for half the price. I personally would not pay that price, so to me they would not be worth it.
