I have a very fine Omega 1953 RAF pilot's watch with the calibre 283 movement. This watch is the finest example I have seen. Near mint crystal and dial. Serviced by Omega in 2004 and not worn since. Can anyone give me a value on this watch please? Much appreciated.
David

Did that have any thin arrow dials when you sent it in? That would have made the watch more valuable.

What I meant, is that you could have askd them to put a NOS Thin arrow on it. Like in this article:

I did not own the watch when it was serviced. I just purchased it this week.

I see. Looks like a very nice example.
