Seiko Blue Alpinist SPB089 listings on ebay. Not too surprised to see it here but I am surprised to see 30 active listings and 13 sold listings, the highest of which is over $1800.

At first I thought I was just seeing another article about the gold tone "Full Metal Square" Casio G-Shock. But nope....this new G-D5000-9JR is Solid 18 karat gold and costs $70K.

Not in my budget, but that is way cool! Like gold-dipping a food stamp.

I've actually had the pleasure of seeing the original "Dream Project" watch in the metal at a local event. At first I didn't know what it was, but I got a good laugh when I found out. I like it when brands do stuff like this; just something lighthearted and fun that everyone can smile at.

I was going to make a joke about how they made one of the toughest watches encased in one of the softest metals.
Until I watched the video.
But for $70k, the thing better act like a G-Shock.

The BOLDR Odyssey is back with the Odyssey Carbon, now lighter than steel and tougher than time. In a super lightweight case of forged carbon and an extremely unique design that comes in striking colors, this watch is ready to make a statement on your wrist.

The BOLDR Odyssey Carbon is now light enough to go anywhere. Using a special composition process that combines graphite fibers and special resin, the forged carbon case is six times lighter than steel but nearly 200 times stronger.
45.5mm full carbon fiber case milled from a single block of carbon fiber.
Swiss ETA automatic movement
Water resistant up to 300m (990ft) / 30ATM
Multi-layered sandwich dial with custom coloring and oversized indexes for a futuristic yet highly legible look.

Boldr also just released the new titanium Venture. It's an aerospace grade titanium 38mm case running an ETA 802.102 Quartz Movement, a matte dial with superlume markers. Additional details via the link. Maybe we can post this one only once. ;)

I appreciated that you added the different specs/features, too. That's what the first post in the thread encourages people to do:

I appeciate the assist! Was rushing to post before the last 3 were gone. Tried to make my second post for the titanium series a bit more complete.

Well, did you manage to get one of those last 3? They are really beautiful watches. If they were priced 200 cheaper, I would have probably taken the plunge [emoji24]

Too many nice watches priced in that region although I must say that they are really unique and attractive and exclusive.

“Only 2 remaining”...but no it wasn’t me. Agree with your assessment. Limited editions are often hype-priced. This one’s a bit too high IMO.

There are very likely more than 2 left: they are also available on Boldr's own website along with a blue version.

Looks like also a red version. Unclear if there are 11 of each color variant or 33 of each...my guess is the latter. Happy to see a swiss movement, but the carbon fiber to price ratio feels a bit gimmicky.
