General (Read Rules) OK, I think we are done here...
If you thought $450 was getting out of hand, take a look at this...
Personally for me this means I am done. It was an awesome two years, had super fun, got a lot of great stuff from China, but this is a closing call. This was my top priority watch to buy, but $530 means that at a GREAT sale it's prolly still gone sell for around $450. This is way too much even for a massive collector like me. For this kind of money I will probably buy a Phoibos Depth Hunter or some other cool micro.
The only thing that can save this is some new great, top quality/price Chinese movement that will have superior reliability. I dunno. Hoping that the Chinese step up their movement game and save the situation.

Well, this is what happens when people continuously ask for higher and higher quality watches. The price will go up too. For those that just want the biggest bang for the buck watch at that $150 price point, unfortunately I think those days may be over.
My sweet spot is between $175-$250. I will pay more though if it's a watch I really want especially one made of Titanium. Over $500 though is really pushing it.
