I have never seen anything like this!

So, I have no rights to this picture, found it on line in a for sale site. I became engrossed in the emblem on the dial. I have seen the (in)famous dominos Pizza logo, but this is... just cool!

I believe, it is Arabic writing(?). My apologies if I am wrong but can one of our Arabic reading TRFers translate the words? I just really like the design of the emblem, I wonder what it's all about?

I have also seen it but can't remember what it's the symbol for. Someone here will know.

UAE armed forces logo. Have seen it on a few Oysterquartz's that were up for auction.

I've seen this dial before and dials like this for UAE, Oman, and Saudi Arabia.

Old Iraqi flag design - will trust the views on the Arabic as I don't read or write (or speak) it. Lots of those floating around the region...nice all the same.
