Military pins/patches, a watch, and a little gold.

[artslinger]

Hi amigos, I picked these up this morning at my first sale. Can someone please help me date the military items? The watch is a Swiss Edox automatic, and finally the two rings. The h.s. ring is 10k (10g), and the wedding band is 14k (2g). The other I don't believe it's gold. It does have an arrow through a U as a marking. I paid $20 for the lot. I sincerely appreciate it.

I think the bronze stars on the ribbon signifies a second / third award of the medal. A silver star = five times.

EDOX in ancient greek means measuring time. Incabloc is the patented spring bearing cushion for the main staff which was easily damaged if the watch was dropped or struck on an object. Cool piece.

You are correct about the stars.
