Service markings?
In Response To: After some special care... ()

A really nice watch Abel,my compliments,it looks really great.
What`s the story about the service markings on the caseback?
Actually looks like the same lettering as the Norwegian armed forces use,Israeli?
The IDF seems like a good place to do a tour of duty back in the 70s/80s.
(Regarding watches of course,the part with people shooting at you and shelling you can`t have been very good at all..)

Cheers
Marius
