If you can find this elsewhere I’ll eat my watch strap.

My late grandad's watch. Circa 1961-62.
Serviced by Richard Askham some years ago. I don't wear it, but it's nice to have it running again (needed a new mainspring).
I have this one I picked up a few weeks back from a small watch shop in the centre of Bristol.
Great place with loads of vintage watches.
Citizen 4-310055y Alarm Date watch from 1969.

Not seen one on the forum before.
Although vintage, it's still a great size at 42mm

Neither was I until about a month ago.
It's this one: https://german242.com/en/main/shop/
Fascinating shop. Stock on the website is rarely updated so definitely worth visiting. Ask about his skull watch it's super cool

I love shops like this
Here are some quite desirable stock at sensible prices
That Blandford Squale looked a bit of bargain even bough it is a quartz 37mm version.
It makes sense that an Olympian would have one I suppose, perhaps received as a sponsor gift, but as you suggest these were not big sellers it seems, over here at least, mine was originally supplied in Japan. I'll certainly bear in mind your dibs if I move it on, but have no plans to do so just yet. Thanks for the kind words.

Reasonably confident I have the only working one.
Pretty sure it’s the only one as the company went pop before they could complete the orders that were paid for :(
Olivier Bronze 500
Nice one. Thanks for the info, will have a look next time I’m in town.
Not seen another Unterwasser on here before. One of only 500 made

i've not seen any of these on the forum before, I don't think............
Squale Tribute one of thirty made
Christopher Ward x Watchgecko limited edition of 50
Tornek Rayville TR660, not rare but according to Wimm none posted in 2023 and I've not seen another to the best of my knowledge
Ancre Super Compressor from 1968. I've only seen one other for sale in Canada about seven years ago
Definitely would be my CWC Royal Navy clearance diver quartz as there is only one made , also my Doxa professional aqualung is probably the only one on the forum
Not that uncommon, but I’ve not seen another on the forum that I can remember.
It satisfies my blue dial fetish nicely…
I'm a big fan of the TR.

BingoI'm a big fan of "The Sandbaggers" ( a well-written TV series of the late 1970s )
"Sandbagger 1" wore a Brichot - similar to one I have recently bagged
Does anyone else on the forum have one?
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
certainly not a "me too" watch :0)
Probably this one.....
Extraordinary! Do the valves serve any function besides decoration?certainly not a "me too" watch :0)
Well(sand) bagged C-BBingo
Corum Anniversary Quarter Minute Repeater by Christophe Claret
Very cool. Not something you see every day!
Corum Anniversary Quarter Minute Repeater by Christophe Claret
Neither are as, er, esoteric as some in the thread here but don't think I've seen either of these apart from mine:
1) IWC Ingenieur Titanium Double Chronograph:
2) Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Military Chronometer (LE of 300):
My photos just don't capture the subtlety of the eggshell-enamel dial and light brown filling of the numerals, here's a better pic, though not of mine:
Oh this is so cool

There's woefully inefficient, and then there are valve-regulated PSUs!
Don't know .. probably?
Had this since 2000 or so. It can display the time in "Internet Time", a sort of decimal time notation introduced in 1998, which never caught on. It's @374 at the moment.
I don't think I have seen another on here. One of my favourite watches.
Nope!
Ha ha ha!Nope!
Not rare but bit marmite. Good watch though.
Baume & Mercier are probably one of the most underrated warch brand at present? Good choice. I do miss my Flyback.

I think my Sinn U50 Pro is the only one on these shores being a USA region limited release.

Panerai 799. I wear it more than any other. Not seen another on here.
Anyone else got one of these bronze Charles Darwin Aquatimers?
Perhaps these 2, both from Pops - the Cellini for my 50th and DeVille when he passed last year.
Ciao,

I'm going to take a punt on these:
"A man of little significance"
Your Autavia is bloody gorgeous, 'specially on the BOR. Lovely.

Thank you. It's a transitional 2446, not many known to exist. It came from Argentina, where the airforce seems to have liked issuing Autavias.

Swatch had a model called BEAT. Good that you still have yours and that it still works.Don't know .. probably?

THIN is the new BLACK
Sinn GSG-9 Limited Edition. I have never worn it the dial is too ugly. I need to send it to Sinn for a new battery and I'll have them replace the dial with the standard GSG-9 dial.
