I think this one may qualify as uncommon or rare. Seiko SKX399K
Had one, NOS. Never wore it because it was NOS.

You don't see too many of these around today, a 1957 Marvel Similarly with the 21 jewel Crown from 1961 The 21 jewel Skyliner from 1962 The 35 jewel 6218-8971 I could go on and on

Seriously, it'll educate some of us & might well be useful for people researching a particular model in the future. I particularly like your '57 Marvel & the Weekdater above. It's always refreshing to see some non divers. There's some very interesting & unusual watches in this thread, keep 'em coming please . yes1.gif

Well there's the 1959 Cronos which is a particular favourite of mine And my 19 jewel 1961 Crown too The 1964 45899 One button chrono And it's slightly more common brother the 1965 5717-8990 The 24 jewel 1965 6205-7010 selfdater And again, the more common 1966 6206-8110 weekdater, unusual in this configuration with the lovely fluted bezel A charming 1967 Sea horse with the arabic 12 I could go on

Of all the desirable models I own these are the most uncommon The first ladies diver with single piece case and screw down crystal retaining ring, doesn't even get a mention in the parts book and was the second most expensive ladies watch at the time, second only to the 24K gold ladies Grand Seiko. The November 66 Bellmatic one of only a hand full known. wristsushi.proboards.com/thread/2286/bells-toll?page=1&scrollTo=27802King Seiko 49999 chronometer (1964) when released was significantly more expensive than the GS February 1969 6139-6000 first month they were made and unrestored (except NOS crystal and gasket) Super nice Cronos 23 Jewel and very hard to find in this condition. Amazing case back in such fine condition. and, and and............
