O.K. here's my story: back in 1981 I recieved a stainless sunwatch as a Christmas gift. I wore the watch for several years, finally retiring it to a drawer ( I was a kid what did I know) well it died, I tried to charge it with no luck. I kept the watch even though it didn't work. In the early ninties 92 or 93, I called the phone number I had with the paperwork, now called Custom Circuits. The gentleman said I could send it in for a repair, it sounded like the crystal had failed, or I could get an upgrade for a nominal fee, less than $100. I opted for an upgrade, this time I chose a ceramic black one. It arrived without much delay, except it looked different than the one I sent in. It has a metal bar seperating the two solar panels.
Fast forward to Feb. 2005, I found this site while surfing, which got me thinking all over again about my watch. You see when I recieved the watch I took off the band that came with it, and then I only wore it a few times. This time retiring it to a table with a light where it has sat pretty much for the last 10-12 years.
So I now have (I think) a black synchronar 2100 that works perfectly, has the original unworn band, both inner and outer box, and misc. paperwork that came with it.
My question is, is this a rare watch? What might the value be for something like this?
That's my story, sorry it's so long..
