    Does the model have any claim to fame or is it very sought after for some reason? I only see a skindiver with a pretty generic look ::confused2::

    i'm no expert on the brand but you really don't see this triton model that often.

    i would not be surprised to see it back on the bay with a fresh crystal with a 4/5k price tag

    I saw it live. I’ll buy pretty much anything but I thought it was too much. Catawiki price doesn’t seem too bad though.

    Generic French skindiver and nothing special if you ask me.

    As @ConElPueblo asked before - what is the appeal of this specific model? The case, bezel, and movement are identical to many other French Skin diver watches out there, available for $200-400 all day long.

    brand played a big role in the inflated price. not to mention dial color.

    if it wasn't trition or a uncommon dial color the 2/4 price range would be accurate.

    Maybe I missed something but why would this be 4/5k? You see a lot of models not often but that does not mean it's 4/5k. Although this union ancre panda dial is definitely worth 5k... It's one of a kind...

    it wouldn't be worth it. but that won't stop peeps for asking that price. even if it was relisted for double what he paid @ 2k he should have some interest.

    and you really can't compare no name budget chronos and no name skin divers to it, even if it is of similar quality. i mean,..you can. but why do it. it doesn't change perception or bring the triton's value as a brand down

    La Spirotechnique does happen to be a model name of the legendary Mistral double hose scuba regulator---but that's not going to make this watch worth more than $400.

    The real Triton Spirotechnique is a desirable and valuable watch. Not the OP watch, it's just a generic skin diver, regardless of the ridiculous asking price.
