A box of "rusty" military (some) watches ... Let's discuss?
Team,
A dear friend, crazy collector (he don't sell ANY watch of this vast collection - Shame on him), handled to me a box with some interesting watches.
I know nothing about, except that they seem (some) to have some military marks.
I will let the military experts to detail. I'm only the messenger.
Part #1:
Part #2:
1) Lemania
2) Lemania case back with military (?) marks:
3) Eterna (This case reminds to me a military Longines)
4) Eterna case back with a number on it. Military?
5) Eska Compressor. Very rusty for my taste.
6) Eterna with military marks
7) Eterna case back with marks. I believe that are military, but what I know?
8) Record, with military mark.
9) Rolex pocket watch
This one I don't know. The hands (hour and minute) seems to me incorrect. The "ROLEX" on the dial ... I don't know.
10) Rolex case back with some marks on it.
11) Rolex movement. Very "pedestrian" IMHO, but again, what I know?
11) Rolex internal case back.
Comments?
Thanks for seeing.
Cheers,
Nilo

Easy...
Lemania and Eterna Cushion shaped cases were issued to the Czech Pilot.
Eterna round case was issued to the British army ( the big arrow ).
As well as the Record.
Best,
Nicolas
Definitely British army, and my guess would be a Rolex Cortebert movement inside. [nt]

No no no, this is quite easy to know from any military watch collector. [nt]

The British military Eterna looks to be . . .
. . . in particularly good external condition. Your friend has a keen eye.
