Rare, but Not THAT Valuable (IMHO)
In Response To: Autavia 111.603, How Rare Is It? ()

These are very rare . . . maybe I have seen a handful (three to five) over the years.

But even though this model is rare, the $2,700 BuyItNow price seems crazy (In My Humble Opinion), given the poor cosmetic condition of the watch. The PVD coating is in terrible condition.

So if you really want to own one of these green PVD guys, then maybe this is your chance. Personally, I would keep looking. Who knows . . . you may find a nice one next week . . . or we may go another few years without seeing another sample, even in this condition. That's one of the things that makes collecting fun . . . right?
