The price is €249.67 on Ocarat.com = $282
The $319 is the total including overseas shipping.
According to the screenshot I posted it's actually $282 including shipping to the U.S. if (a big if) it's not fixed later on.

I don't usually buy watches just to flip them -- I usually flip watches I thought I would like and don't as much or to fund another purchase -- but this is an insane deal.

I believe your suspicion about swapped currency symbols could be correct.
Or I could have my math wrong.
But if someone takes advantage of the deal, please let us know what actually transpires.

Get an additional 3% ($11.72) cash back through Rakuten/Ebates. This is also on Amazon for $425 plus tax. Otherwise about $100 more on ebay. ETA Valgranges A07.211 movement.

NAD Any opinions on the Ambassador vs the Air Boss? They both look like decent chronos for the price but how are the bracelets, lume, etc.

No way I'd pay $900 for it. But I think anything under $500 would be worth it. the SBP/SARX presage watches are great quality. Disclosure: I own a similar SARW watch.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

NAD - Some minor problems start back towards the beginning of the Zodiac thread but it starts getting worse here around post #25.

He’s selling directly to group members via a post on FB. One could always request to join but not sure if it’ll be accepted in time. I just looked and there’s currently 2 makos, 3 great whites 1 hammerhead and a 7750 chronograph available.

I don't recall seeing the SARBs this low, and they didn't come with a bracelet either. And I'm certainly not aware of any other 6R15 based model currently this low.

That said, as someone else pointed out in the thread, I'm not in the business of flipping... so I'm going to pass.

No skyraiders were included. I would love to get my hands on one of the blue ones but that was a LE of 50 pieces so doubtful that we’d get so lucky on those. Kicking myself for not picking one up at the pre-sale price.
