I’ve bought that one twice. Sold it both times because it was too tall. Really like the look though. I think they were around $350 10 years ago. I assume this seller’s just fishing for a sucker.

I’ve got one I might be listing soon. That price is stupid. However this is my favorite version of that watch.

What kind of shape is it in? Would you consider trading for a Mk II Blackwater MMT?

Great to see them going upmarket.

I might even consider an even trade with a SubC. Might ;)

A guy listing a used watch that isn't produced anymore at an absurd price on eBay is not "them going upmarket".

Unfortunately it is quite common though...

Yours is but a mere TSAR, not the elusive SAR.
