    The Broad Arrow or Pheon was used for centuries to mean British Government property, but it has been discontinued.  All Mark 11 from the Royal Air Force and the Fleet Air Arm have the Pheon, but some Mark 11 from the Air Forces of the Commonwealth countries also have the Pheon stamped in their caseback.

    Unrecognized thread, but now spotted.

    Long term goal to collect those rareties and successful into a box now.
    Indeed extravaganza !

    The "civilian" version could be part of such a collection as well ?!

    Hi Hebe.

    Excellent Ref. 2612. Congrats.

    I've been tempted a couple of times to add the Ref 2612 to this group, and
    even started negotiations to acquire one a couple of times, but the price was
    never right and/or I convinced myself that, the Ref 2612, not being a military
    watch, it did not belong with the others.

    Also, and this is very important, that IWC box only accommodates 6 watches,
    and there are no boxes for 7 watches, which means I would have to acquire a
    box for 12 watches, which would leave 5 empty places. And you know that
    Nature abohrs a vacuum, which would compell me to acquire 5 more Mark 11. And
    then what would happen if I ended up with 13 Mark 11? Do you see the problem
    here? :-)

    Not having unlimited funds, I must establish boundaries, sometimes artificial
    ones, so I don't end up living under bridges. However, I am unsure of this
    boundary and wonder if I will not succumb one day, and just get one.
    Fortunately they do not show up for sale that often.
