Omega CK 2914 Pakistan Air Force.
One of the jewels of my collection, a charm, a character with a lot of soul.
And a piece of History.
Best,
Nicolas
P.A.F.: the only triple-signed watch Omega . . .
. . . ever made.
How so?
(1). Iron dial with 'Seamaster' text.
(2). P.A.F. engraving on the movement.
(3). Movement number inscribed on outer caseback.
You don't need an extract . . . a real P.A.F. is its own passport.

The F.A.P. movements aren't signed . . .
. . . to the best of my knowledge, Nicolas . . . only P.A.F. has that distinction.
I don't believe a P.A.F. can be faked. That's why it's at the top of my list . . .
. . . of realistic Omega grails.
Correct, the movement numbers for all examples fall within a narrow range . . .
. . . which buttresses the P.A.F. engraving on the movement.
Years ago Nilo, our second Omega forum moderator, said that no one can be really sure if a vintage watch is truly original. He was right; the sole exception to the rule would be a P.A.F. Yeah, the dial could come from another specimen, but the odds of that are astronomical.
If you see rust on a Rail-pattern dial adorned with 'Seamaster' script . . .
. . . you know you've got the real deal.
I think this is the watch you will bring with…
For the road trip with Salman to the Hunza valley 😁
