Beautiful piece, but that price is rather substantial...

wow, that's way overpriced. The ultimate one to have is the single red line 1665 which is rarer than the MK1 on ebay and on every DRSD collectors must have list. And even that, when it comes up for sale, has not been as expensive as this one.

Nice watch, but the price seems imaginative.

It's a patent pending DRSD, but that still doesn't justify the price. I'm thinking $60-90k would be more appropriate.

$60k--I will take it! Not gonna happen though. A PP MK1 is worth $100k and perhaps a bit more if one PP original bracelet. This one is pretty nice but yes certainly overpriced. That is where one sold for at peak in 08'-market has never come near that level again.

The shipping cost are one thing, but wait for the insurance fees!
("shipping $100 + insurance)
Or customs, in case it gets shipped overseas. Wuzzah.
