So I was discussing the crazy pricing of Seikos that have been discontinued last night with my wife which was brought up because she bought me a SARB033 for Christmas and they had recently been discontinued.
Anyway, I can across this listing for a watch I don’t recall even getting 5 minutes of attention when it came out and I’m sure this one was less than $400. If you missed out on this wonderful “iconic” piece, here’s your chance to own for a mere pittance of $850.

I've seen that quite a bit over there lately, the Monsters being prime examples. The word discontinued apparently makes buyers want to pay 2-3 times what they are worth.

I like that one, and feel your pain, Heath. At some point early on, I knew I wanted a 7A28 Gen 1 chronograph, but didn't know enough about RAF issued watches to feel comfortable. The search ultimately led me to the SNA029 quartz chronograph, which was a modern 200m quartz chrono but discontinued and long sold out for cheap prices on all the typical sites (Rakuten, Creation, Skywatches, etc.) I paid a big premium over those prices to get the only NOS example I could find. FNG move on my part, for sure ![doh :doh:](./images/smilies/eusa_doh.gif)

Prices on all watches seems to have gotten crazy lately. That’s if you can find them. The deals are few and far between anymore.

People will pay stupid prices sometimes. I once had someone PM me with an offer of $850 for my Bathys 100m. Quartz.
Quickest $600 I made ...

I think I’m pretty well set where I’m at right now which is good since I’ve noticed the same. If I’m getting anything else I have to put the Ball back up for sale as the other two I have were given to me, one of which was a gift from my wife and is one of my favorites. Seeing all these prices makes me have no desire to have much money sunk into a hobby.
