With only a handful known to exist, this one is quite rare... should do well at auction...

Bryan, I've never, ever seen this one before. What an interesting find. Although the seller doesn't know too much about watches, he was pretty smart to turn down the offers for first $200 and then $500. The watch currently stands at $800 with quite a few hours to go. I wonder how high it will go?

If I remember correctly, the last one I saw brought around $2,000.
