Two versions tend to pop up now and then. There's an older, traditional design with open lugs, and the mod 70's cushion case version, which was in the movie. The cushion is very rare. Maybe two or three on ebay in a year. I wear mine a lot and it is a nice watch. It has a vintage Seamaster 300 sort of feel. The bracelet is a throwaway. It's about as appealing as any other Speidel. They are grossly overpriced on ebay because of the article.

Went to review the article and FYI the site hosting it has gone away.
