    Here is another little gem from EbayPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network, a Qaboos marked speedmaster.

    Its a straight writing, with Asprey written on the back. The dial is over printed - probably by Asprey?

    It seems documented, and comes with an Asprey box with a crest.

    I have never found the Rolex watches with Middle East painted dials attractive, and to be honest I am not sure I like looking at this. Of course it is rare, and it has the Asprey mark on the back.

    Another watch I will not be bidding on, but I do understand why people would.

    Anyone here a buyer?

    Yeah saw this and was initially quite excited. Then thought to myself... why? Boiling it down its not the best looking 69 in the world and I have no connection to its background. The box is also decaying. So no... me neither

    Personally not into additive text on dials, no matter how funky the font...

    Edit : might be tempted by ‘hello kitty’ though...

    I actually don't mind it, but I'd have preferred the Omani coat of arms over the Arabic text.

    I don’t mind the dial addition but shame about the polished lugs. Really surprised at the hammer price.

    I am impressed with that price.
    It is perfectly true I have not seen another.
    I was not the buyer...:)
