·The thin arrows typically sell in the £4K price range. How much the extra rarity adds is to be seen. Tough market at the moment.

·Shocking in what way?
Don't get me wrong it's a stunning military watch, and I know it's significantly rarer, but it's so many times more expensive than a WWW Omega😕 (like this that sold the other day at Bonhams: https://www.bonhams.com/auction/280...tary-issue-wristwatch-dirty-dozen-circa-1944/)

·I genuinely thought it would be around the £2500 mark..

·Why Railmaster in relation to military?
I'm getting fed up with this " deliver answers on a silver plater to me " attitude. It's all on the Internet. Years of research from fellow Omega collectors. You want to know = You get yourself educated with reading. Then come back and ask educated questions, that might be answered here. That's the Way to learn.

·That's unnecessarily patronising; in relation to this, I don't have any questions to ask you whatsoever.
I was merely astonished at the estimate of £4-6000 for the 2777-1 SC Rhodesian military watch, that is all! and I think that's fine, and if You don't think that's fine, do not respond to me.
That is merely a matter of opinion on value, it has nothing to do with educating on intended purpose form or functionality.

While @watchyouwant has a valid point, in the spirit of OF camaraderie, here is an answer to your latest question.

··Vintage Omega Aficionado2777 TA is valuable because it is a combination of several desirable attributes - large size, military, antimagnetic and historically important (Railmaster precursor). The TA version is also available in small quantities with the vast majority having been redialed to the FA version. The number available in good shape is smaller still - I would guesstimate probably a hundred or so out there. All things considered this watch should be worth quite a bit more than the estimate.

Interesting article, I knew a fair amount in terms of the influence and foundations, but thank you; however in terms of my opinion on the 'value' of a Rhodesian 2777-1 SCs, it offers little apart from etymology which I was aware of.
I don't see any valid points that @watchyouwant made; the non-points he ranted, just came like a gardener's dog 😁, as such I reserve my right to still be shocked by the supposed 'value' and the guide price of these things, especially for a watch (albeit a very attractive one) with very limited wearability due to the amount of radium (with circa 1500± year half-life ) that you're exposing yourself to.

You're more at risk everyday crossing the road than anything that will do to you.
