Double Red Sea Dweller price variations

Hey guys, I was looking on ebay and came across these two double red sea dwellers. Any reason why the one in the first link is WAY more expensive than the one in the second link? Im not an expert on the DRSDs and was hoping to gain some of your expertise on the different DSRD models.

I think the other one is just a regular one.

Look at the dials, you'll see the difference, not only the thin Patent Pending case makes the huge difference of price

Yes, the first one is a MK1 Patent Pending, but probably worth around $70,000-$100,000 on a good day, not 225k!!!! The second one is a somewhat common late (MK4) DRSD worth between $17,000-22,000

I agree, i think you would have to fall over, and bang your head very seriously to pay that much.
