Kuwait Air Force is al-Quwwat al-Jawwiya al-Kuwaitiya or القوات الجوية الكويتية in Arabic.
Kenyan AIR FORCE however used KAF as an abbreviation. By the way Kuwait Air Force used Rolex and I have had a few. Also the Middle Eastern and GULF Military used crests on the dials and engraving on the backs in Arabic. Sometimes they used Arabic Indexes as well.
So when were 11063 V produced, after the attempted COUP?
A picture of of 3 different dials for GULF, 2 on the right are from U.A.E and the one on the left from KUWAIT.
U.A.E GMT
BAHRAINI DIAL
ARABIC INDEXES
As far as the Middle East and GULF watches are concerned, I have spent a lot of time on as most of them were Rolex. Iraq and Jordan used Breitling and Pateks but most of the GULF States including Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, U.A.E, Qatar and Bahrain used Rolex.
