    It was common in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf to give watches marked with a royal crest, portrait, or signature as gifts. This one looks a bit different though, as normally (I think) the dials for these gift watches were ordered from the manufacturer, so you would not expect to see the original logo whited out. Anyway, here is an Omani example:

    The OP watch looks rather more like DIY 'homage' than a gift
    There is no way a Saudi prince would give this a gift
    Also there is an era discrepancy going on
    The named prince is unlikely to have been born when the watch was made
