Rarest Watch (in your collection)

What do you think, is the rarest watch in your collection?

Love to see a pic ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Probably this.

1976, Omega's first mass produced Quartz.

Cost as much as a house back then and was their most expensive watch at the time

Bought this broken for a pittance and had a new modern movement installed.

Not original in any way, different hands and hideously over polished, but it's cheap exotica and I like it ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Wow man, never seen this before. Cool!

Probably my 1960ish Citizen Ace.

I bought an old vintage tool box at a yard sale and this just happened to be hidden away inside. It runs well, has a super interesting dial, and the case has wild flared lugs that I love.

Because it runs, I have yet to open the watch up. :)

Thank you. No, nor had I, so when this came up cheap I had to get it ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Probably this Stowa. #1 of 95

I actually hate limited editions but I couldnโ€™t turn down #1 once I got it in my cart.

I guess this one, late 1930s Junghans with the first iteration of the J80 movement inside. Donโ€™t really know whether it is indeed rare, but have not come across it online (let alone offline):

Here's my vintage Nivada Grenchen Antarctic Spider (rare as hen's teeth) on a rare Expandro rally bracelet.

One of 44 and just 19 for sale on market.

I suppose rare and limited can overlap, so Iโ€™d say my LE SLGH009 (1 of 550 worldwide) is my rarest watch. And my favorite.

The only one I have is probably my Formex Field Earth Blue

There are loads if Formex Field watches but only 100 with this particular dial.
