Maybe a risky shout but only 399 were made and they were only sold in the NYC boutique. The Omega Seamaster NYC edition.

I dont know if this is the only one on here...not seen one recently ish though...i would like the black dialed chrono one too.
Aren't too many of these still running these days.
Very hard to find. Took me many years of looking. Though recently I did find another for a chap over on WUS.
Tacky AF but rare. Only one so far to come to light. Probably out of shame...
Much more common, but I haven't seen another WW2 RLM issued Wagner hereabouts?
The Longines is from 1911/12 so fairly thin on the ground.
Bulova Accu Swiss Murren.
A legacy of Bulova's failed attempt to drive the brand up market several years back. Can be picked up now for a song but features surprisingly crisp case finishing, great dial and a decent Sellita Mechanical Chrono movement.
Beautiful.

Not sure whether or not this is unique here on TZ but I do not come across many of these 60's Zeniths with the date at 6 and sunburst dial.
For sure the only one here: MKII's Tornek Rayville. Bill Yao owns the brand name. (How did this slip under Blancpain's radar????).
About 10 yrs ago he did a run of 9 hand-built watches. Mine is #1. Sold by 'invite only'
My pics are held hostage by Photobucket, so here's a pic from MKII's own collection (of my watch)
There's some very impressive watches appearing on this thread, so I'm slightly apprehensive putting forward my TAG/HEUER Pilot Quartz.
I think I've seen a white dial version on here previously but not the black one.
Im very happy to have this now, I’ve just had a longer strap made, so it will be off the mesh and back on leather very soon.
Vc 42040
Might be not the only one. But there are very few!
An old post of mine came up on the Stowa Forum - this is number 2 of 25 issued, the Exima with Omega movement. So I would guess it is the only one here!
Something not often mentioned: the bezel of the original Overseas had eight, um what to call them? Teeth? The idea behind that was that they were the result of two overlaid Maltese Crosses at 45° to each other. When the latest version of the Overseas was being designed they decided to reduce the number of teeth from 8 to 6, so that there would be better harmony between the teeth of the bezel and the indices on the dial. It does mean that the rationale behind the teeth is now rather opaque.
Hi bobbee
Thanks for the comment.
FWIW, I bought the Zenith some years ago as an 18th birthday present for my daughter. She is a fairly headstrong, Art School type (to be fair she got a First from Central St Martins) and she literally threw it back at me !
I am keeping it for when she changes her mind.
Another one that I do not see that often, which was purchased recently by me here on TZ is this little beauty. The sigma dial dates it to early-mid 70's, I think.
This VC has the 1.6 mm thick 1003 movement and is, in total, about 4mm thick. Although it looks a bit small in daily wear, I do get to go to the odd posh dinner and this looks fantastic with the full DJ etc..

Not seen another of these on here

I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
That's another looker and I've not seen another, and who doesn't like a nice two-hander?
Talking of which, here is another vintage from me, tank track integral bracelet and navy dial.
Quite small at only 30 mm. across, but even with my 8 inch wrist I believe this wears considerably larger due to that brbracelet.
Cheers!

New arrival, and possibly the only one? I know of at least one other member who was planning on getting one, but not spotted any pics of another as of yet.
Fairly easily Colin. If you go on e-bay.com and search Seiko Alpinist Blue or Hodinkee Blue there are plenty for sale. It's a sort of Speedy Tuesday type situation, they sold out very quickly and now loads are trying to make a quick buck out of it. You just need to find someone who will ship internationally.
The watch comes with a Black leather strap, but Strapcode 3D Oyster bracelets can be bought new for under £100. The whole package would cost about £800-£900 but it's doable.
I’m not going to quote it again but that grand Seiko could be the best looking dress watch I’ve ever seen. Minus the power reserve indicator it’d be perfection.
