This claims to be a "British military ref 11153059" but I can't find such a reference even if I put in some dots here and there. Any opinions?
Looks great, but as far as I know hasn't got a claim to (military) fame. The same dial can be found on a couple of Swiss cased references.
11153059 is the movement serial number dating the watch to approximately 1947/1948. This watch was cased by Dennison in the UK so you will not be able to find a true reference number like you would on the caseback of Swiss-cased Omega. Perhaps they call it "military" since it was likely produced shortly after WWII...
Yep, thanks guys, just what I thougt. But over all and for what it is it looks rather nice in my eyes? I didn't notice that the "ref" was the serial
Completely agree! Many watches have a design similar to those issued by the military around the same era. Without MoD/NATO codes on the case back or solid provenance, these are not military issue. I will say that some servicemen and women did wear civilian watches in the service or to theatres of war. But that doesn't make them military issue either. You have a good watch in nice condition. Enjoy!
