Lunacy. These weren't even great watches and a coleague of mine once traded his issued COMEX for an SD and $2,500. He hated that it didn't run very well and was constantly needing serviced.
This one didn't sell at $64k and has a better package with it:

I don't understand anyone not connected with the diving industry wanting one, tbh.
