I saw that. Am I missing something here? Why is it fetching more than rrp?

Supply and demand. Market value... and all that.

[Fender]

The Japanese ones I can understand.

Imagine a JDM model released on a strictly time limited basis on a Japanese website?

No way any of us would be able to navigate such a thing.

Because it’s no longer available new.

This is the rarer 29B which is 39mm and has been sold out for a number of years. The last one on e-bay was close to £600. This is the later version though, the earlier versions with a domed acrylic crystal are rarer still.

I can see this going for close to £600 tonight. Will keep an eye on it.

Interestingly, the seller doesn't even say if original packaging is included.

[Mr Curta]

Wow, that's getting on for W10 prices.

They haven’t been that price on here as far as I know.

I did a WTB last year and a US based member offered me the early version, but I was concerned about the 20% vat add on which would have made it quite expensive.

Lost his details now, but if he is reading this, get in touch again please.

That makes more sense I suppose. I knew the original had a domed acrylic but didn't know they were rare.

So the first model was 2010?


I found this thread about the movement which is interesting.

Yes. I think there were 200 watches in that first batch.

[Wallasey Runner]

Went for £520 - hope Dave got it.

I was so tempted to bid, but will hold out for the earlier model. Will do another WTB.

[Dave+63]

No, I didn’t go for it in the end Ken.

I’ll just have to stick with the 40mm Everest and the Speedbird for now.

I acquired one of the first 200 with the double domed crystal and it’s going nowhere and especially not ebay.

I am disgusted that I will not likely be able to acquire a Navigator, thanks to the scalpers and profiteers who’ have ruined what was an otherwise enjoyable hobby.
