    Rarest, or seldom seen? To specify rarest generally means that you know how many of a particular model were made. Do you know that the subject Omega qualifies as rare?

    Posted mine in the other rare thread

    https://omegaforums.net/threads/which-is-the-rarest-watch-you’ve-ever-owned.86611/



    After I consulted the rare definition thread

    https://omegaforums.net/threads/how-do-you-define-a-rare-watch.81650/


    But please don’t let @ConElPueblo know we are talking about rare again as he’s a well done guy. ;)

    You call the subject watch rare. Well, okay. How many of that specific model were made? You call it rare. You should have an answer to that question,

    I don't need or want to answer you ok ?
    I think people got the idea.
    If it makes you happy or feel better i will change it to hard to find.
    If you want to post feel free to do it,if not please leave us alone.

    In a different thread a moderator wrote the very true

    Something to bear in mind :)

    I think my aversion to the term stems from reading loads of sales adverts where it was used to justify the high price. Unless a watch is "objectively" interesting (I know that objectively is a poor term) then I can't see how rarity should add any value. Also, who really knows if a specific vintage watch is rare? I don't.

    Edit: I also object to the sub forum this has been posted in :D /old fart

    To add something remotely interesting to the thread, I'll post a few pieces that I find are both interesting and probably not that common:

    20181029_102007.jpg

    Two Certina DS amagnetics.

    20180906_161630.jpg

    An early DS with the funky diver's style dial, but with golden dial furniture and a gold plated case. Only one I've encountered.

    Beautiful :thumbsup:
    I think Cetina made and makes beautiful and quality watches.
    But are you saving some cookies for later ?:whistling:

    PS:
    The left one with orange markers looks like the seamaster 300 right ?

    Have a look at both Railmaster and Ranchero to find the inspiration:)

    I dont think that this is a rare watch in europe, especially near Germany but in my home country, Indonesia, ive only seen 2 piece of it one is the black dial and the other one is this. D6B3DCF3-3EE5-4F30-8E7A-A2BFA621FB02.jpeg

    I have this watch, I have no idea if it's rare or not. I cannot find one, which is specifically like this one on the internet. I recently inherited it from my grand father. Do you guys have any idea what model this is? (Omega Seamaster, without date, non-automatic, as most of them do have).
    Thankyou in advance :D

    See your other thread and keep all comments etc there. It reduces confusion.
