·Hi Fallout
Which watch are you talking about ? I have to assume it’s the ROYAL NAVY 300 ?
Which is the rarest watch you’ve ever owned?

·A black hobnail dialed Constellation 2652. To my knowledge, there are only three known examples. The other two are also owned by OF members.

··Bill @ ΩFhi
I just dislike the term " RARE" in talking watches.... It a term i use to order a steak at Peter Luger's Steakhouse.
These are uncommon at best .... made on an assembly line.....
I will go with an uncommon watch .... not my most uncommon but its a start ...
how are about a S.58 Zenith with a bumper 133.8 movement... and a uncommon stretch Zenith bracelet but someone filed down the end pieces ( working to find another set. ) but it works over all ….

·I like watches that are different than the norm
I like odd shaped + unusual watches
Here are some rare ones I've found-
1930's Longines Tank with Platinum Case, Diamond Numerals + Indices, Gold Settings + Crown, + Multi Faceted Crystal
All original + just serviced
1950 Bulova Academy Award-just serviced and now owned by my wife
1960 Bulova American Eagle-just serviced
1959 Hamilton Thor just serviced + new crystal
1984 Seiko Astronaut- same as the type worn on Space Lab in the 1980's- as found

·Whether rare or uncommon, a Monthal Telemetre Chronographe that drew me into watch forums a couple years ago (a Pierce 130 for the Italian market). It has since gone on to collector who is restoring it.

·I'll call this one both rare (few made) and uncommon due to the rarity: 1971 Certina Chronolympic Regatta Timer with the only (or one of two) applications of the Valjoux 728 central chrono seconds and minute hands. One of the internet references for these watches (brillaint site about regatta timers) estimates fewer than 40 known.
A brilliant watch that I lucked into that'll hopefully find a new home in a few months time.

·Think this is pretty rare, an issued stopwatch. Nothing special in that but check the issue number.
