Well...first of all, I'd like to say that NAAFI is something very cool to have on an Extract - certainly cooler than simply "Germany" or any other country. I enjoy provenance, and the more information on an Extract the better. On a good watch like the ones shared by
@Tri-national-man and
@gemini4 and
@mr_yossarian I'm sure it enhances the value for some.
But... I personally don't see this as quite near the level as military issued. More like military-adjacent. And that's ok! Honestly.
I
do take issue however with the eBay seller (link) starting his description like this: [sic] Im selling my military Vintage Omega Speedmaster 145012-67 For British Military NAAFI Box Paper
I think he's overselling the significance of the connection by calling it a military watch, akin to a Mil-Spec Seamaster 300 or something. This is a standard Speedy that happened to be sold (alongside clothing, cigarettes, and salad creme) at NAAFI. Again cool provenance, but I don't know if it is intrinsically more $pendy than if the Extract simply said Germany. Especially given the condition issues that one from eBay has.
