    I recently received a beautiful vintage cal. 89 watch with an unusual case.
    It was sold in 1957 in Belgrade Yugoslovia. On the case back is a beautifuy
    engraving- but I can't make heads nor tails out of it- would anyone care to
    determine what is engraved? Any thoughts appreciated.

    Hi Nelson

    Another new post shows a watch from former Ex-Yugoslavia with the same
    engraving. It says that it's the signature of former Ex-Yugoslavian leader
    Tito. Watches with this engraving went to important people such as diplomats
    or businessmen. Really special, I think!
