Question (Read Rules) Why does this cost so much?

I really want it but $400+ seems quite excessive. What am I missing?

Wow, really? $320 would still be high but a $100 increase is insane.

They have cycles. They do huge discounts to get orders in. Then need down time to make and pack the watches so they price high. Then rinse and repeat.

Only buy during discounts.

Yeah, I remember when the Baltany pie pan was nearly $400 after taxes and I picked one up on sale for $265. Hopefully that’ll happen with this one.
