    I'd pass at any money, nobody's really interested in buying them, especially at that price.

    To me a momentary fashion statement that is already gone, unless you're a Hollywood type and you didn't get the memo.

    A used U-boat for $2200? I wouldn't buy 10 of them for that! :p They're overpriced to start with, and the owners over value them. I rank them a single step above Invicta and just a smidge below Bell & Ross on the "Worst Watch for the Money" list.

    .... but at least it isn't an Aximum or Jonny Sonbol.

    Thanks for the all the input!

    We offered him $900 mostly for the movement but he balked and walked.

    As for Aximum, we have bought several of those for scrap and movements. Sold 1 dial off of one for over $500 on eBay!!
