··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...Looks like a very nice example you have there. I believe most have been said. Regarding the Army text I believe that it adds value but not a clue on how much.
Extract, Speedmaster model and year of production

I bought it on an auction in Germany. According to the auction house, it was the first owner who desided to sell via the auction house. I tried to get hold of the original owner, but without succes. It could have been fund to hear the story behind the watch.

·I have, and 'US Marine Corps' too. I've not seen any mention of PX, BX, NEX or MCX, just the service branch.
Perhaps since, ignoring NASA, there were never any US issued Speedmasters (were there any GI Omegas at all?), they don’t differentiate like they do with the UK ones where delivered to Navy or Army means something very different from NAAFI.

@Bille they are tax free stores on military bases for military personnel and family.

·Well none of the other ones that show delivery for sale at a PX for either MOD (NAAFI) or US military has ever had a price bump due to that. So to answer your statement that you don’t know how much it affects the price.... it’s 0%

·...But do you know if it makes any difference in the price valuation that the watch has been delivered to the US Navy?
Yes, most definitely! watches delivered to U.S. Army exchanges are more valuable than watches delivered to any of the other military services! 😀
now in a more serious note, great looking watch you got there! Enjoy!

I would say this is a personal preference. There are plenty of people prepared to pay more for this kind of remark on an EOA. Issued or not it is an extra point of interest. I would add 10-15% for it
Fabulous example, nice find OP!

·I believe PX stands for Post Exchange, BX stands for Base Exchange, NEX stands for Navy Exchange and MCX stands for Marine Corps Exchange.

To add a bit - the PX is the general store on an army base. Usually prices are a bit better than in the local shops. And you can buy peanut butter and other essential foods that foreigners for some reason refuse to produce 😁
