A lot of us have many of the same watches...How about posting a pic
of something no one else has or something that is a bit more rare....

Here is my Bell & Ross which I rarely see on DWC...

That B&R is a great watch. Had one for a while and loved it.

This is my rarity. Only WCB and I seem to have it so far on DWC.

That's a super watch Jason...I hope to own one some day...

Thing about the B&R is that even at 44MM by 17MM
the lug to lug is only 49MM--it fit me like a glove..

Agreed - the B&R was very comfortable. I find the Ploprof a similar fit, given the short lug-to-lug. Similar funky aesthetic too - case angles, hands, bevels, touches of orange...

Outside of me posting shots ad nauseum, I don't really see these guys all that often...

And then there's this...

Of course, of late, this thing has been anything but "rarely seen" 'round these parts.

Ever since I bought my Bernhardt Instruments "Globe Master" (a couple years ago), I never wear this old thing. It's not "rare," but it's "rarely" on my wrist!

This is my rarest diver and proberly one of the first ever made.It was made in 1918 with a screw type crown like the Canteen watch Elgin and Hamilton made for the military.It's has what is called a Depollier case with a Illinois movement.They also had Waltham movements in some of them.Some one told me this was made before Rolex did there first diver.The US Army also used the Depollier watches in WW1.Here are some photo's.

some beautiful watches here... I'm particularly a sucker for the crystal on that G&W, and that uber-cool Depollier.

If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

Movado 800 (quartz movement) on bracelet.

Recently, there have been lots of drastic reductions on this version and the larger chrono.


The watch is like the Rodney Dangerfield of the watch forums, but I really like it.

I have looked at that model many times on the rubber strap and thought it might be a great sports watch. You should post a review and more photos of it!

While I don't think of it as rare, I don't remember seeing anyone else post one on Y3 or here on DWC, although I know there are a few scattered on TZ & WUS...

...The Sinn 203 Arktis. Rare, I'm not so dure, but it is definitely not a common place watch.
Image


I also wonder how many out there are still sporting their original first edition one-owner Aqualands???
Image
Almost 25 years and still going (thanks to a few services, some very $$$$, but I can't part with it).


My MGs, the Rasmus in Red and the 29er Big are not very plentiful, but I also don't see them as rare.

Who knows if this is 'really' rare but until I bought mine I had never seen one let alone with the white dial.
