Ok, we've got some pretty mean threads on this forum.... classics like 'my bank doesn't have a safety deposit box big enough' and 'the immigrant workers I pay to keep all my moonphases wound are helping the global economy' and 'boo hoo, this incredibly rare watch I found at a school fête and swapped for an ice cream appears to have a replacement strap' but isn't one that's basically 'look at all these great watches I have and you lot can't get' really rubbing it in?

This is the watch one of my friends dangle in front of me every time he has a need to be mean...

Decent Railmaster´s seem pretty thin on the ground too. And how about the 145.0023 Vader chrono, I haven´t seen one of these for sale in years either.

Those black waffle dials are incredible!

A few models that you could find in excellent original condition maybe 2-3x a year 3-4 years ago that have all but dried up today.

Black dial waffle constellations
RAF '53 with TA dials (even those with dial replacements from the Bienne stock)
35.5 snapback and 35mm screwback manual wind chronometres

There are probably a few others but these 3 come to mind pretty quickly.

Agreed re black engraved dial Connies and large case manual wind chronometers - I can't remember the last time either came up. The RAF models aren't on my radar, but I'll certainly take your word for it. Another one that doesn't seem to come up at all anymore are the white gold Connies from the first decade of production; C-cases pop up now and then, but try to find a bumper or cal 505 cased in white gold.

Grateful to have a military (ref 2179), a 33 mm chronometer, and . . .

. . . an engraved black dial Connie already accounted for, amongst others.
