This watch has probably been through quite some actions...
1st time Orchi sees the Crown appearing this way...

Besides for example the known FAP Military watches...
(possibly 1680 Sub commissioned for Marine Helicopter Pilots)
Are there any other similar 1680 Submariner or other watches commissioned...
for Military usage by other countries...
having the similar features of Rolex engraving of Full S/nos...
inside the Caseback...n Rolex engraving on the outside of Caseback...
(Arabic Scripts in this case)
having the Tiny Hole...?

Your advise is much appreciated...

Best regards
Orchi.
