It is a nice all round aero-compax. However, that is a much later dial (early 50s) on an early case ... I would like to see it at six o' clock as I expect a "swiss" to be there ! 馃嵖

I鈥檇 want more and better pics before endorsing this one. There are red lights flashing. Price would matter bigly.

Here you go. I know the asking but have no clearance (yet) from the seller to disclose

Much better pics. Ironically the oil stain on the dial between 4/5 makes me more comfortable. Relume hands at some point in its life. Nice piece.

Given that the UAE didn't exist until 1971 that sounds like a very tall story.

Antiquorum - plus 莽a change etc...

@Carlton-Browne how could I have missed that 馃榿 Anyway: I would have expected at least a pic of the inscription 'proving' the military provenance.

Nice. I have the same reference, with a different - no lume - dial.
Imho it's strange the combination between alpha hands and no lume dial, for this specific example.
EDIT: from these pics, gold indexes seem glued above the original dial...
