    My 5513 Sub which I bought new in 1976. Closely followed by my "Deep Sea" bought new last year.

    Very nice indeed - cannot beat a bit of family history. Looks as it its never been worn.

    Re: My favourite watch.

    Tough Q...

    I'd say the following for it's sheer rarity (I only know of another 2, and NONE in this condition/configuration), gold content 80 gr of solid 18k, and high end quartz movement... nothing less than my NOS Omega La Magique cal. 1357.

    Though my MINT Omega Holy Grail 376.0822 (Lemania 5100) just having returned from service in Omega OZ, and of course the Gen1 TYPE1 Ploprof compete fiercely for the coveted spot (excuse the links I have yet to master making the pictures under 800 so I can post from Photobucket... possibly transfer them to Flickr? Has anyone had this issue?)

    My Grail:

    http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae23 ... C02587.jpg

    And the complete set, bells and whistles etc...
    http://i975.photobucket.com/albums/ae23 ... C02579.jpg

    Omega La Magique Ref BA 523.1025 Circa 1981
    Amongst THE thinnest watch in the world (at the time) NOS, 80 grams of solid (.750) 18k, 1 of 261 made, and 1 of 20 made with the gold mesh "grain d'orge" bracelet, with mystery hands - ultra flat (2.6 mm), rectangular, 18K yellow gold gentleman' s quartz mystery wristwatch with transparent dial center. NOS manual in English and original warranty sheet, Omega original (watch specific) box. Also, very special 2 page actual full color advertsiment that appeared at the time the watch retailed, 1981 USA.

    What a lovely piece. That is the exact watch I am hoping to acquire in the next 12 months or so as a birth year watch.

    Lovely.
