Re: I've seen such KNIL markings before..
In Response To: Interesting stopwatch found ()

Mokum weer een Heuer rijker, gefeliciteerd.

Good find. (From Hugo?)

I've seen similar KNIL markings on somewhat more expensive IWC Flieger Mark X

(btw: That Mark X has "wrong hands, wrong crown" according to the mark X database)

Also Dutch Military: this mysterious Spera K.M. (Koninklijke Marine / Royal Dutch Navy)
it's fairly expensive (for "just" a landeron 148 based Chrono, and it's not in good nick.
Maybe I'll call the librarian at the KIM, as i think this may have been a cerimonial gift to the best graduating student.

Cheers, Jurgen
