Do you have a watch that you think nobody else has here on WC?
Max's recent "White Dial" post was a favorite of mine and I saw some stunning watches, many of which I'd never seen before. That's not saying much, since I'm new to the watch scene, but it got me thinking about if there are some unique examples owned by WC members that no one else has.
If you think you have a watch that no one else has - even if it's a factory special edition flavor of a popular watch - post it here. Maybe it's a really expensive watch that is out of reach for the rest of us, that counts too.
If anyone has that same exact watch, they should post theirs to nullify yours, with the words, "I have that one too" or something similar. Please quote the original post for clarity, so we don't have to go up and down the thread to find the original poster's submission and we can see for ourselves.
Watches that don't count: Those that you have modified from the original factory specs or have customized with your name on the dial, different bezel, hands, etc. Factory original pieces only please, no customized pieces or Frankenwatches.
Some of you will have many I'm sure, so feel free to post all you have or just choose one. The goal of this post is to open our eyes to the many different design aesthetics - some of which may no longer be in play in this day and age - and provide a thread of special watches while having a bit of fun.
Post your most unique watch and we'll see just how unique it is. I'll start with my Ghurka. I can't even find this one on the Internet.

I have not seen one of these here…
I'll throw this one into the fray:
Circa 1998.
I've got this beauty on its way to me at this very moment!
Not unique, but pretty rare (Omega's first in house quartz)
Would love to know if any fellow Crunchers have one. 👍🏻
Don't think I have seen these

What's that one with the white dial? P-H-T-N-L? Yes/No? On/Off? That's strange!

I know I've seen that name before - GANT - but I don't know in what context. Clothing?

It’s like a gmt multiple zones.
I think P is Paris, H Hong Kong, T Tokyo
N New York and L London
It’s pretty cool! My daughter wears this piece now and she loves it

But what about Yes/No On/Off?

I don't spend as much time crunching as I should, but never seen anyone else post this here besides me.
This was a gift given to me. but I had to get a strap to make it decent looking.
I bet most people who spot this say “ WTF” is that ?
Yours is the first I've seen with the same dial as mine, except the colors are reversed.
I think the colours might be the same on both. The inner circle and outer circle on the dial both change shades of colour when held in certain angles due to reflections. Does yours do that?

I got it more so to collect then to wear to be honest but I definitely get a reaction when I post it 🤣
It’s Gene Simmonds yes ? Kiss fans would adore it .
I bet I'm the only person with one of these.
I have one but mine has been made into a wrist watch.
We got close!
When you get into vintage, micro and micro vintage, I think it’s pretty easy to be unique. So won’t bother posting my several antique family watches.
This one’s rare, more current and from a big manufacturer: my Grand Seiko “Milgauss”
Ok joking, a little. But it gives me a milgauss vibe with that subtle blue ring at the edge of the crystal.
It’s the blue ‘sky flake’ dial with a Evo9 case, Japan only release, called Blue Glacier, 1/250, GS x Japan Horological Association
The other very limited modern watch I own is my Seiko LX SNR043
‘Moonlit ocean’
I know we’ve got several other beautiful Prospex LX models here on the crunch but I haven’t seen this model, which is 1/250 also

That one is one of the very few vintage watches I really want. I'm looking forward to photos.
