Nice pictures Matt, I guess there is a market for almost everything but for me paying $70,000.00 for a watch is a market they would not let me in the front door.

There really is a market for every watch. According to an Expert Watchmaker (that is a title) that gave me a tour of Vacheron Constantin's Maison, many people still purchase watches with minute repeaters that can cost over $100,000.
I have been wearing that Explorer II the whole week. My Submarner is not seeing much wrist action. Thanks DS/B MCS
They both have the 3185 movement, so I would think they move the same. The biggest difference is the ability to track a third time zone with the bezel.
Today I am wearing my old, trusty SINN divers watch. I bought that watch some 20 years ago directly from Helmut Sinn. His daughter was a secretary in the same company I work for and she gave me all the info I needed. At this time, SINN was just a brand for insiders, mostly pilots, a few divers and Germany's first Astronauts....and the watches were all handmade in Frankfurt in a small manufacture and very affordable! Now, its a status symbol to some extend and sold in much higher numbers and surely at much higher prices.
Still, the watch is great, although the lume is pretty much gone now. The movement is an ETA 2892-2A, same as in my IWC Porsche Kompass watch.
