Did the 2777-1 SC come with a red seconds hand? Does the watch look right, anything i should be asking? And any idea what should be paying for something like this?
thanks

Blurry picture, could be a Rhodesian Air Force issue with a red second hand, but if that is a circle at the end I don't think that's right, if it's a teardrop then it's probably correct, alternatively, you can get it sympathetically restored to white.

If you happen to become the owner of the OP watch, leave the red hand alone. It’s probably correct and original.

That looks like the picture from the latest Watches of Knightsbridge catalogue. The estimate is £4-£6K.

Plus 25-30% buyers' premium, maybe plus VAT on top.. Ouch!

Sounds expensive but because this as a Rhodesian military watch, I believe the auction house will accept Zimbabwe currency in settlement😀

That’s a fat arrow. The one the OP is asking about is a thin arrow. Probably twice as valuable.
