Never see any, "hey, I just bought a white dialed sub..." threads on here.

Old thread I know, but I'm bored and was browsing.

For me, a 5517 with documents / provenance. Of course, that would be after I win the lottery

Great thread. Didn't see this one the first time around.

For me - an Omani dial Sub or SD. That's the business. You can have the others!

For me, no contest. Not the rarest by any stretch, but... OH, the provenance. I care a lot more about a watch that has a story than one that is considered a rarity.

Second place would be, as someone has mentioned, a MilSub with a spectacular history. Something along the lines of 'Worn by an SAS member whilst storming the Iranian Embassy in 1980' or somesuch.
