Rolex - Rolex Oysterdate Precison 'UAE Armed Forces' Ref. 6694, 1986(Full Set)
UAE Armed Forces Full Set
The UAE in its rich history has, in the past, commissioned a good number of custom order dials for watches that had been purchased with the purpose of being gifted to Army Officials, Delegates, and guests of state. There are Air Force Dials, MOD Dials, and among many others there is the UAE Armed Forces dial which in our opinion is one of the most beautiful logo dials issued for the UAE.
Here's a 1986 Rolex Oyster Precision Date reference 6694 in 34mm with manual winding movement. The correct period Silver dial bears the very popular UAE Armed Forces Logo that is positioned between the center post and the 6 o'clock marker.
Retained in beautiful ‘close to new’ condition we assume that the watch has only been occasionally worn, maybe a hand full times. The beautiful logo beautifully stands out from the very monochrome look of the watch. Most stainless steel watches that were made with Middle Eastern logos have golden indexes, crown and hands to make them look more precious.
These watches were ordered by the UAE government and gifted to members or the Army, foreign dignitaries, members of State and other important affiliated personalities. This watch is among those that were ‘over-ordered’ and landed back at the Authorized retailer Mohammed Rasoul Khoury in Abu Dhabi who then sold these at retail. And because they were sold in the boutique they issued Warranty certificates for these. To our knowledge, those which were gifted by the Armed Forces, did not come with box and papers.
This beautiful watch comes with its original Warranty certificate and box, a set that hardly ever comes up for these Military logo watches. If you want one of the best examples, this is your chance.
