Title: Extra Nice RAF Omega 53' Thin Arrow Serviced Description: NEARMINT condition. Refurbished in Bienne (Omega) with a signed and probably new old stock Omega crown, easy to grip. Sweetly and expertly buffed anti-magnetic and water proof Royal Air Force issue. Heavy slotted back screws down. Anti-magnetic iron core helps protect against anti-magnetism. Fully and properly marked. A new old stock Omega thin arrow dial and hands and probably the signed acrylic crystal were added. All told, almost $1000 cost to the previous owner. Comes with the service/repair/restoration invoice which has matching serial and case numbers and a new nylon one piece strap. Also has a certificate from Omega with some cool facts and the same matching serial and case reference numbers. The Thin Arrow model is the most popular model with fewer made then the Fat Arrow examples. In my opinion, this is the coolest Omega of its kind and it is down to the size, heft and thickness of the case, the military provenance and the sweet, easy to read dials. It is matte black with bright white Arabic numerals, radium dots and white broad arrow skeleton radium hands. The long white center second stands out easily. One of the rarest and most desirable vintage watches on the market today. Measures 37.5 mm wide (not including the crown) x 48 mm long x 14 mm thick. {$SOLD} Item #6041
