$25,625 each? Come on, realistically that has a street value of probably $100k tops. Good riddance to garbage and to the importer/dealer. Unfortunately, the proliferation of fakes causes our watches to cost slightly more as manufactures spend more on anti-fake campaigns, litigation, and technologies.
