    Plenty of Heuers about, especially Autavias, but I don't think I've seen another one of these



    Manual wind 73463, 'military style' (this model was issued, but this particular one wasn't)

    I think I'm the only one here with this Eterna Kontiki GMT:

    Until either Haywood or Mike Wood check down the back of their sofa and tell me otherwise, I think I'm the only one on here with one of these:



    And by that, I mean a 2004 factory SL dial and no lug hole case.

    This is the only one on TZ - I’d love to be wrong!

    Though a fairly common PRS-5 Mk2 with swan-neck regulation, mine received 1550-hands from Mr Kemmner, making it very R.A.F.-esque as was my intention:

    Well I can see where some of the inspiration came from for this now.

    PS collecting mine from the post office tomorrow and haven’t seen much mention of them on TZ so maybe unique?

    edit - nope not unique, just saw the WTB from last week so not alone.

    Really refreshing to see some real rarities.

    Makes a nice change from the usual suspects.




    Here's another I haven't seen around here, a Seiko digital chrono with built in speaker!



    Cheers,
    Neil.

    What’s the speaker for. Does it recite the time or is it a dictaphone type thing?

    It's not that fancy (or modern). It's from 1981.

    It's an H239 - 5020, commonly known as the robot watch, the speaker just amplifies the alarm.

    Seiko's ad at the time.

    Bit of a cult watch now.


    Cheers,
    Neil.

    PS I'd be interested in a translation of the advert as well.

    This Nicolet is unique on the forum I think. Sector dial, blued hands and a rotating bezel with a marker.

    I know - when I see how long I've had certain watches (and the kids who aren't kids any more) I feel ancient

    I know Vladimir Putin has one of these, is he on the forum?

    What is written on the watches at the top of the ad is a little un-PC I'm led to believe

    Haven't seen another of any of these on here (though suspect there might be a couple of the RLT29s hidden away).

    You`re unlikely to see another like this;

    Can you elaborate? I'm not a PAMeristi, so it looks rather like most other Luminors to me.

    Girard Perregaux Neo Bridges - fairly recent release, and probably a bit marmite.

    But then, there were only 500 of them made - for a special swim organised by the Unterwasser diving magazine.

    I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
