It is very unlikely, that your engraving is correct here. PLS. Take a clear picture from the case back and report back. No lume, gold hands, gold numerals...... Focus on the numeral 1, pls. Both examples start with British markings and end with Non Belgium markings. Kind regards. Achim
Thats what I thought....this engraving was not done for a military inventory. Starts British 6B and finishes something else. If British and correct, the 1 is one stroke. Not the European small uptick on the top. Unfortunately quite common with " military " watches to

Good morning !
Notwithstanding your -probably valid- considerations about the markings, fact remains that my father received that watch from the belgian air force ... it was never a watch that he bought and got military markings done on it. Actually, he bought a watch upon his return from Germany, a Doxa chronograph that I still own today but abandoned it when he received the Tissot ! Hence my opinion : the watch was an endowment, the markings are perhaps not fully faithful to some rules, but it is a military watch nonetheless.
Thank you for your attention,
Good morning !

Thank you for your attention,
... it was an American collector who sends me over here. Hhis first opinion was that it was a military version but was 'not sure. I had already offers until 1100 euros... But I rather keep it because I love to wear a watch like this It have a story and also have sentimental value. The jewelry man was right it is a tissot ch27 lemania valjoux 1950. That's what he told.thxs a lot for your attention, regards, redbull

I'm having trouble understanding the relationships here, unless @malilis is the "American collector" referred to in the top post and is also @Redbul's cousin.
Just as an FYI, the OP apparently decided not to keep it, since it's now listed on C24 with the claim that it is a military watch. Obviously, like Achim, I have never seen a military-issued watch like this one.
Hi ! Malilis is the OP and is not the american ..! Redbul is a follow that jumped in .. and mentioned that his watch had sentimental value and was not for sale
