I just bought a near mint one off Ebay coming from 🇯🇵. I bought it because my parents got me one when they where in Switzerland and I had brought it to a watch store in Southern Ca to have some custom work done but the store sold my watch without my permission. Now that my parents are deceased i wanted another one as a sentimental memory of what they did for me.
I posted a broken Marklin SK800 (with exposed Brass Brush Caps). These sell on ebay for $US1,800 in excellent condition. I posted it from New Zealand to Miami, Florida, USA to a man who restores them. This was about 8 years ago. He never returned it. He kept it. To this day, I still have not been able to afford to buy one in decent condition. I did have one. But it was stolen from me. So I know how you feel.

Do you still hvae the watch?
No. I sold it. (Which I do not regret). And now I have a similar Teg Heuer, not quite the same, but I like this one I have now better.
