Hey everyone.

My grandfather was a general in the Jordanian army and the Kings personal guard back in the day. The king of Jordan gave him this watch as a gift. I'm personally not a fan of Longines and I dont know what model number this is or anything. But I figured I'd share it. He passed away in '88 and told my mother to give me it when I get older. Considering he has many grandchildren (older and younger than me). Made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. RIP to the manliest person I ever met.

Side note: They added the Jordanian Kingdom symbol on the watch too.

very interesting.

a friends father of mine was in the hospital and there was somebody there from the royal jordanian family too (i dont remember exactly who it was) and on the day he left the hospital, this person gave 2 longines watches as a gift, one for my friends father and one for my friend.

i rememberd this because they had a very special dail with arabic writing on it..more or less like yours..

Thats awesome! It was probably the King of Jordan. He had cancer so he went to the US and I believe Israel for treatment.
