This is too cheap. Someone will get a bargain.

maybe the 80 little diamonds has fell off the watch just before he took the shots

Neverworn! But I must say that those are not the best photos to exploit that timepiece.

Anyway,

Well, let's find out. I just sent the seller the following inquiry:

I'm curious as to how you arrived at the purchase price. I've bought precisely similar watches...same model and condition, equally complete, for less than $700. In your estimation, what makes this particular watch (which is not shown to be in working condition, I note) so spectacularly special (two Pulsar P1s recently sold for just over $10K, and it has been my experience that no LED watch is worth more than a P1). Really looking for an answer here...

I'm guessing the reply will be either very contrite, or very angry, without much middle ground. Will post the reply if I get one...

PT Barnum said it: "there is a sucker born every minute.". I think that these posters are:

1. The sucker unless he actually sells it, in which case he is
2. The suckee!

I like your style Bruce .
I'm tipping he won't be very contrite...............

Another problem I have with this auction (besides the Outer Limits price tag) is the suggestion that this watch has lain, unworn and undisturbed, in the box, for some 37 years. Besides the fact that it is NOT shown to be in working condition (though cosmetically excellent), the best count I can make of the links in the bracelet is 12, maybe 13, tops (amazing how some people can take a lot of pictures and still manage NOT to tell you some basic things!). Since the original length was 15 links, I guarantee you, this bracelet was re-sized to fit somebody's wrist!, and therefore, it HAS been worn, however briefly. I'm guessing this watch quit working (for whatever reason) shortly after purchase, and rather than returning it to the factory for repair, it was simply put away, and eventually forgotten about, until now (this would be especially likely if it had originally been a gift...if you have nothing invested in something, you don't worry too much about fixing it if it breaks). I see this fairly often; cosmetically superb, but dead as the proverbial doornail...it's likely that's what we have here (though, even if it should prove to be working, it's still light-years from being a $15K watch).
NOTE: Still no response from the seller.
