·I retired at the end of last year and realize that I need to downsize the collection.
So, here I offer my Omega 2777-1 ’53 Bienne thin arrow military watch.
This one was restored by Omega in the 1990s and was fitted at that time with an Omega factory tritium dial and tritium hands.
It was missing the “doohickey” when I bought it, so I sourced a reproduction from a member of Military Watch Resources.
The moisture absorbent paper on the dust cover is a reproduction from Zak Basha of Classicwatch.com.
The watch comes with an Extract of the Archives and a spare crystal.
I had the watch serviced by Kelly Hunter in 2016. Last week he opened it up, examined it, and said it remains properly lubricated and is not in need of another service at this time.
I am not sure how to price this one because I have not been able to find any recent comps. It seems to me that it should be priced somewhere between the 2777-1 fat arrow and the thin arrow. So, I am asking $5250 OBRO. The price is exclusive of shipping and any payment fees. A CONUS sale is much easier for me, but I will entertain an international sale on a case-by-case basis.
