    A while ago I saw this online
    https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/v501868844

    jubilee_1995-img600x600-1495778518osvtps18864.jpg encased in white gold jubilee_1995-img600x600-14957785192ww7ax18864.jpg jubilee_1995-img600x600-1495778519czwgzb18864.jpg and then I stumbled across Desmond article in his blog that this one is pretty rare (20 pcs for each precious metal colors). Pricing about $9000 USD or less (it's using Japanese yen).
    Is the price is too positive or it just downright ridiculous?

    Thank you for your inputs
    Best

    I suppose that it's possible that I could be talked into it if I were blind. :rolleyes:

    Only one problem though, eventhough it does have the shop warranty and box, it doesn't have any original box or paper though... Thus I'm asking whether it's downright insane or pretty much fair to make an offer on this piece...

    If you want to channel your inner Liberace, then I say go for it.

    If you buy it, then you will be known as Thatguy with Thatwatch and I don’t think you want to go to Thatplace.

    It's kind of low-hanging fruit to bash this, but in its defense, there is some decent workmanship going on, regardless if it's not one's cup of tea.

    Just because something's rare, it doesn't make it desirable.

    That's art for ya... Trust me, if it does came to the workshop I'll immediately refused it as it looks like a fake traditional market watch until I red a book that got information about it...

    I’ll be honest I never saw the claws/Manhattan on it until I read the caseback and had to go back and look for them.

    Man that’s a busy looking watch to make those almost invisible.

    I would pass on this one. It is the bezel that kills it for me...
