Re: My Autavia caseback signed Forcas, not Fuerza!

The engraving is even more curious, if I read it correctly it says "Forças Armadas Portuguesas Ultramarinas", something that means that these were to be distributed to the armed forces in the colonies. The rough translation would be "Overseas Portuguese Armed Forces". I think.

Can some of you place these watches in time? What would be the period'

All the best,

Guilherme

: can tell?

: As I continue to repeat, it's difficoult to talk about something
: that we really never had in our hands or seen before...

: In my opinion, we have ALL to study before talking... study
: different watches, not only one of them...
: Hope to be helpful.
