Hi everyone,
I am a vintage watch collector who is trying to find out more about an old Rolex wrisch I recently purchased with Arabic engraving on the case back. From my research so far, it appears the engraving means:
'Arab American Oil Co. 30 Years Service Presented To: Ahmad Khazem Alkhalife 1974'
Here are a few pictures of my watch:
Based on this Aramco engraving, I ended up here with the hope of finding out a little more about my watch! I am trying to gather as much historical information as possible, so if anybody can provide me with more information concerning these long service awards (such as how many were awarded or any other owners), or put me in contact with someone who may know, I would be very grateful! Perhaps someone remembers Mr. Alkhalife?
I realize this may be a shot in the dark but I figured it wouldn't do any harm to try!
Thanks for looking,
Nick.
