    Is yours the only one here on TZ-UK?

    To explain, I’m just trying to tease out and make visible some of the more special (and dare I say it, less ‘me-too’) watch models that are owned by forum members.

    In reality, the question is, ‘what watch(es) do you own that you’re willing to bet no-one else on the forum has?’

    I don’t believe I have that many at all, but will start by trying these two:

    1. The Dornblüth Kal 04.0. Unusual because it is smaller that Dornblüth’s standard offerings, at 38mm. Only 75 were produced I believe, 50 in steel and the rest in gold. I know a few have passed through the forum, but is this the only one that has remained...





    2. The JLC Master Hometime. I don’t know why I think that no-one else has one here on TZ-UK, I could well be wrong!






    What do you own that you think might be the only one here on the forum?

    A few rarer variants of Seiko 7A38 ....

    I did post this in another similarly themed thread a couple of years ago:

    I'd love to see another one - ideally in better condition. Would gladly pay a Tenner.
    More recently I've acquired these:

    Attias (re-branded Kamatz)



    Orient J39701-70 1985 Indianapolis 500 version




    .... and the blingy borderline fugly FRED Force 10 7A38:

    I haven't seen any other examples of these posted anywhere on any other watch forum / Instagram, whatever (let alone TZ-UK).

    Schofield Signalman GMT PR. I’ve seen the occasional Schofield model posted but not sure if anyone on here also owns one of the 300 of these produced.

    I don't have one of those but do have a Schofield Blacklamp which I suspect be the only one on the forum.

    A few possibles that I cannot recall having seen posted at least,

    SBDX005


    Dime MD Edition


    Meridian Prime


    SBGH257


    CWC Tactical Diver


    If G-Shocks count I could probably add quite a few more.

    I've had a quick look through my cheapy watch pics and I doubt anyone has one of these.

    In fact the cheaper end is where you are more likely to find one of a kind type watches as many would have been discarded over the years whereas Omegas, Rolexes etc will always be around.

    BTW I have since polished up the Diamatics crystal and it looks even fabber!

    Seiko Diamatic with colour coded solid bracelet.






    Doxa built quartz branded Aqualung for US Divers.





    Olympic branded diver in TAG case.




    Mad NOS '70's auto I bought a good few years ago. Must try to wear it one day.

    Thanks Neil, it is very nice, sadly the original bracelet its on is super rare and too small for me, I should get a nice vintage style leather for it and wear it more.

    I've got quite a few individual models which I don't think anyone owns quite the same, but as far as brands I'm almost certain I'm the only one here with either of these...

    I think there is a pretty fair chance I am the only Chronoswiss Lunar owner on TZ:

    Possibly the only owner of a black dial GS Chrono too:

    I am pretty sure at least two of these three are unique on TZ-UK:


    Grand Seiko SBGE021



    Grand Seiko SBGE029



    A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk

    It's not special or rare but I doubt if too many / anyone off the forum have one of these, just going by the Friday threads and general lack of mentions of the brand in general: Muhle Terrasport IV GMT.

    I think o have a couple. Two of them
    Sourced from this forum...

    Heuer Audi sport case but full blown lemania 5100 arrangement and with lemania signed dial! I have only seen another 5 around the web...


    And the forum finds;

    Kobold might have had troubles lately but this is the pinnacle of a tool watch!
    Screw down pushers, valjoux 7754 based gmt chronograph with 24h day night indicator with a light titanium case!

    The excelsior park with a well documented forum story!

    That's quite possibly my favourite watch on the forum.

    I think I've the only one of these, and there's probably a good reason for that.

    Sorry to sully this thread with another 'common-or-garden' Seiko 7A38 ....

    But this is still the only example of the two-tone 7A38-706A SAA034J I've ever seen (anywhere).

    Dunno, for me it would be easier to show watches that other members might/do have. Almost all of mine seem pretty unique to me.

    Not ugly at all imo. Even if the case shape isn't to everyone's taste, I think the dial colour scheme is lovely (ignoring political symbology).

    Possibly the only Swatch Oscillation, not that it gets worn anymore....

    And possibly the only IWC 3521 in White, although this one has been through a few members hands

    You bugger. I've always wanted one of those - or at least ever since Bob Frasier alerted me to their existence. I once, very, foolishly passed on the opportunity to buy a Girard Perregaux Observatory Chronometer.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    Okay, there's clearly a lot of love for this, but... what is it?

    Not a name i've ever come across before, and a Google isn't telling me much.
