Been a while since I had some thing to post here. I was looking for a birth year watch over at the MWR forum some one told me about the RAF Omega 58 same as the 53 only seen a few so I went on the hunt for the 58 had a offer for one but the price was insane he wanted . Since I am a military watch collector during the hunt for the 58 it made me think about the 53 so I got side tracked for a birth year watch and picked up this RAF Omega fat arrow 53. The dial had some damage but was a old repair plus the second hand was ether replaced or the tip broke at the time of the dial damage. I got it for a fair price plus it was serviced not long ago at halve the price of the 58 a better deal. Happy with it and nice patina on the hands and dial and the case is not bad shape.
